Question

Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully. 2x+2-7x+1-2

Answer 1

−5x+1

Step-by-step explination

2x and −7x are like terms (both have 'x'). 2 and 1 are constants.

2x−7x+2+1−2

(2x−7x)+(2+1−2)

−5x+3−2

−5x+1

Therefore, after simplification, the expression becomes −5x+1
