The first step is combining like terms. On the left side of the equation add all the numbers together that don't have and x (1/3 +2)
Hope this helped! Let me know if there is anything else I can do!
Barry will use the distance formula:
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
d = √[(4 - 3)² + (7 - 1)²]
d = 6.08 units
