Answer 2

9-x+5x-3-9x

add same terms..

(9-3)+(5-1-9)x
=6+(5-10)x
=6-5x

@keepsecure93

Answer 3

first combine like terms so 5x,-x, and -9x = -5x
and 9-3 which =6
it should be -5x+6

Answer 4

thanks

Answer 5

Hi @nickymail48 . I hope I can help you! The (easiest) way I learned to solve a problem like this is to make a table based on the type of terms. So you have x-terms and constants. Make columns labeled that way and then put the entire term into its respective column.

x | c
_________
-x | 9
+5x |- 3
-9x |

Solve downwards using a calculator. For the 'x' column, just solve the coefficients. So -1 plus 5 minus 9. (then add the 'x' to the sum). = -5x. For the 'c' column, do the same but don’t add anything. 9 minus 3. = 6. Put these two together, making sure to put them in the correct order. -5x + 6.

9 - x + 5x - 3 - 9x = -5x + 6

I hope that’s what you were looking for! :)
