In each case, simplify the given expression, if possible. \( \quad 4 y+2 x-3 x y\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
Question: Simplify the expression, if possible: \(4y + 2x - 3xy\). Answer: The simplified expression is: \(4y + 2x - 3xy\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify Similar Terms

The given expression is \(4y + 2x - 3xy\). Observe that there are no similar terms that can be combined because each term has distinct variables.
02

Factor if Possible

Given the expression \(4y+2x-3xy\), there is no common factor other than 1 in all the terms. So, factoring is not possible in this case.
03

Write the Simplified Expression

Since there are no similar terms to combine and the expression cannot be factored, the simplified expression is as it is. The simplified expression is: \(4y + 2x - 3xy\).
