Answer 2

Hi!

Given:

`(8x+14) + (9x-5)`

As we are adding the two groups, we can safely take them out of parentheses, as none of the signs will change:

`8x+14+9x-5`

Now, we can rearrange them to make it easier, placing like terms next to each other:

`8x+9x+14-5`

Now, add like terms:

`17x+9`

Therefore, your answer is D.
