Question

Find an expression which represents the sum of (-6x + 6) and (-3x – 7) insimplest terms.

Answer 1

Given an expression of (-6x +6) and (-3x - 7)

`\text{The sum of the expression (-6x +6) and (-3x -7)}`
`\begin{gathered} -6x\text{ + 6 + -3x -7 } \\ \text{collecting like terms} \\ -6x\text{ -3x + 6 - 7 } \\ -9x\text{ - 1} \end{gathered}`

Hence the solution to the above expression is

`-9x\text{ - 1}`
