Certainly! Let's simplify the given expression step by step.
Given expression:
[tex]\[
-3 + 5 - 4y + y
\][/tex]
1. Combine the constant terms:
The constants in the expression are [tex]\(-3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(5\)[/tex]. Combine them:
[tex]\[
-3 + 5 = 2
\][/tex]
2. Combine the [tex]\(y\)[/tex] terms:
The terms involving [tex]\(y\)[/tex] are [tex]\(-4y\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y\)[/tex]. Combine them:
[tex]\[
-4y + y = -3y
\][/tex]
3. Form the simplified expression:
Now, combine the results of the constant terms and the [tex]\(y\)[/tex] terms:
[tex]\[
2 - 3y
\][/tex]
Therefore, the fully simplified expression is:
[tex]\[
2 - 3y
\][/tex]
