Well add and subtract like terms, for instance: 17x - 5x = ?x 9 + 2 = ? I'm pretty sure you can reduce it from there. I hope this helps in someway! Have a great day! ;) {---Ghostgate---}

no not much @Ghostgate

OpenStudy (ghostgate):

Alright, what is 9 + 2?

OpenStudy (ghostgate):

And then what is 17 - 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's b?

OpenStudy (ghostgate):

Yes, because 17x - 5x = 12x and 9 + 2 = 11, leaving you with: 12x + 11
