Simplify. 5+ 8y^2- 12y^2+ 3y

The answer simplified would be:

-4y^2+3y+5

If you combine the like terms, you will get this answer.

You have to add 8y^2 to -12y^2 and you get -4y^2.

Hope this helps you! :)

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
