In order to combine terms, the variable(s) must be the same and the exponent(s) must be the same on the variables. Since you have an x2 term, x term, xy term and y term, none of the terms can be combined. So, the answer is: x2 + 4x + xy + 4y. The only thing you could do in this problem is to factor out a 4 from the 4x & 4y so another way to write this is: x2 + xy + 4(x + y).

collect like terms and you get 4x + 5x + 8 - 3 ie 9x +5

-3x-8+4x=17(-3x+4x)-8=17 ;combine like terms(x)-8=17 ;add 8 to both sidesx=25
