I need help with math problem plz?

Question

my problem is 5x - 13y - 12x + 22y, please show step by step process to get answer.

Answer 1

5x - 13y - 12x + 22y

Simplify by combining like terms (xs with xs, ys with ys - it may help to rearrange it first)

5x - 12x - 13y + 22y

= -7x + 9y

Answer 2

is there  an equals sign, if not then you group

5x-12x+22y-13y

5x-12x = -7x

22y-13y= 9y

-7x+9y or 9y-7x whichever answer you like best

Answer 3

Step 1: Write the problem out: 5x - 13y - 12x + 22y

Step 2: Combine like terms:  -12x + 5x and -13y + 22y

Step 3:And There you go:  -7x + 9y

Answer 4

You have to simplify. Look for the terms with the same variables.

Here, you can combine 5x and -12x

and combine -13y and 22y

Then, add them.

You get -7x+9y

Hope this helps! :)
