Simplify Expression 0B155B

1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$7x^2y + 5x + 10yx^2$$. 2. **Identify like terms:** Notice that $$7x^2y$$ and $$10yx^2$$ are like terms because multiplication is commutative, so $$x^2y = yx^2$$. 3. **Combine like terms:** Add the coefficients of $$7x^2y$$ and $$10yx^2$$: $$7x^2y + 10yx^2 = (7 + 10)x^2y = 17x^2y$$ 4. **Rewrite the expression:** Now the expression becomes: $$17x^2y + 5x$$ 5. **Final simplified expression:** $$17x^2y + 5x$$ This is the simplified form since $$17x^2y$$ and $$5x$$ are not like terms and cannot be combined further.
