Problem 75
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$4+7 y-17 y$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified form of the algebraic expression \(4+7y-17y\) is \(4 - 10y\).
1Step 1: Identify like terms
In the given expression \(4+7y-17y\), the like terms are \(7y\) and \(-17y\). These are the terms containing the same variable \(y\).
2Step 2: Combine the like terms
By combining the like terms, we subtract \(17y\) from \(7y\) to get \(-10y\). So the given expression \(4+7y-17y\) simplifies to \(4 - 10y\).
