Answer 7

your combining like terms here, the parenthesis are there to show order of operations, but because there is a + sign you can get rid of them. (if there was a negative sign then you would have to distribute the negative, switching all the signs within the parenthesis on the right, dont ever forget to distribute a negative!)
