What is the simplest form of the expression (–11.7y – 3.3x) + 1.2x + (5.2y + x)? –16.9y – 5.5x –16.9y – 4.5x –6.5y – 2.1x –6.5y – 1.1x

Respuesta :

Answer:

(D)[tex]-6.5y-1.1x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

[tex](-11.7y-3.3x)+1.2x+(5.2y+x)[/tex]

Upon simplifying the above equation, we get

[tex]-11.7y-3.3x+1.2x+5.2y+x[/tex]

Rewriting the above expression by writing the like terms together, we have

[tex]-11.7y+5.2y-3.3x+1.2x+x[/tex]

Solving the like terms, we get

[tex]-6.5y-1.1x[/tex]

which is the required simplified form of the given expression..

Hence, option (D) is correct.
