Question

-2x + 9x
What is the answer

Answer 1

Answer:
`7x`

Remove "x" and add

-2 + 9 = 7

Add "x" back

7 -----> 7x

Note: When adding/subtracting problems like these remove "x" and then add/subtract normaly. When you get your answer put x back.

Answer 2

Answer: +7x

Step-by-step explanation: Since both terms contain an x, you can add them together by simply adding their coefficients. Coefficients are just your number in front of your variables. So if -2 + 9 = +7, -2x + 9x = +7x.
