Question

What is -4X + 5X answer please and work

Answer 1

-4x + 5x = 1x.

We can add like terms and simplify to answer this question,

-4x and 5x both have the variable and the exponent in common so we can combine their terms. When adding a negative to a positive it becomes subtraction. Since 5 is bigger we are subtracting 4 from 5.

We can add the coefficients:

`-4+5=1`

Keeping the variable:

`1x`

Answer 2

x

Explanation:

What is -4X + 5X?

When adding or subtracting terms with the same variable, we only need to focus on the coefficients (the numbers in front of the variable). In this case, the coefficients are 5 and -4.

-4x + 5x = 5x - 4x = x

So, the answer is x
