Answer: 6-y
explanation:
add the numbers in the bracket as they have the same variable (y):
5y + 6 - 6y
5y and - 6y have the same variable, so solve them:
you get
6 - 1y
the left over numbers don't have the same variable so they can't be simplified further.
Answer:
There is no "=" sign, so this is just an expression. To solve means to simplify by combining like terms, where possible.
5y+6-(5y+y) = -y + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
5y+6-(5y+y)
5y+6-(6y) [Simplify by combining like terms]
5y+6-6y [Remove the parentheses, remembering to multiply 6y by -1]
-y + 6 [Combine like terms]
