Sagot :

Answer:

  3x +2y -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression can be simplified by combining like terms. Those are terms with the same variable. The commutative and associative properties of addition apply, as well as the distributive property.

   (2x +3y -7) +(x -y) . . . . . given

  = 2x +3y -7 +x -y . . . . . . eliminate (unneeded) parentheses

  = (2x +x) +(3y -y) -7 . . . . group like terms

  = (2+1)x +(3-1)y -7 . . . . . . combine coefficients of like terms (this is an application of the distributive property)

  = 3x +2y -7
