Simplify:- ab (cx + y) + bc (ax - y) - 2ca (bx + y)
Added by Eric P.
Step 1
ab (cx + y) + bc (ax - y) - 2ca (bx + y) = abcx + aby + bcax - bcy - 2cabx - 2cay (distributing) = abcx + bcax - 2cabx + aby - bcy - 2cay (rearranging) = x(acb + bca - 2cab) + y(ab - bc - 2ca) (grouping) = x(ac - 2b + bc) + y(ab - 2c - bc) (rearranging) Show more…
