Add the two expressions. 2x + 6 and 6x −1 enter your answer in the box.

8x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum is found by combining "like" terms—those that have the same arrangement of variables.

The first expression, 2x +6, has terms 2x and 6.

The second expression, 6x -1, has terms 6x and -1.

In each case, the first term listed is first-degree in the variable x. These are "like" terms, so can be added:

... 2x +6x = (2+6)x = 8x

The second term listed in each case is a constant. These are "like" terms, so can be added:

... 6 + (-1) = 5

Then the sum of the given expressions is the sum of the results from adding like terms:

... 8x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
