PLZ help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Combine like terms. 9 + 3x – 9x + 16 A. 25 – 6x B. 19x C. 18x + 3x + 16 D. 3x + 16 I think its d.

OpenStudy (igreen):

These are the like terms: 3x - 9x 9 + 16 Combine them.

OpenStudy (igreen):

And D is incorrect.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Do you know how to subtract 3x - 9x? It's just like subtracting 3 - 9, but we put an 'x' next to it.

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

3-9 is -6

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so 3x - 9x is -6x

OpenStudy (igreen):

And what's 9 + 6?

OpenStudy (igreen):

*16

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

15

OpenStudy (igreen):

Sorry it's 9 + 16

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

oh. 25

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
