Certainly! Let's simplify the given expression step-by-step:
Given expression:
[tex]\[ 4x + 3y - 2x - 3y \][/tex]
### Step 1: Group Like Terms
First, we will group the terms involving [tex]\( x \)[/tex] together and the terms involving [tex]\( y \)[/tex] together:
[tex]\[ (4x - 2x) + (3y - 3y) \][/tex]
### Step 2: Combine Like Terms
Next, we'll combine the coefficients of like terms:
- For the [tex]\( x \)[/tex] terms: [tex]\( 4x - 2x \)[/tex]
- For the [tex]\( y \)[/tex] terms: [tex]\( 3y - 3y \)[/tex]
Combining these, we get:
[tex]\[ (4 - 2)x + (3 - 3)y \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2x + 0y \][/tex]
### Step 3: Simplify the Expression
Since [tex]\( 0y \)[/tex] is zero (it does not affect the equation), we can remove it:
[tex]\[ 2x \][/tex]
### Final Answer
The simplified form of the given expression is:
[tex]\[ 2x \][/tex]
