To simplify the expression \((5.16x - 8.63) + (3.2x + 9.1)\), we first combine like terms.
1. Combine the \(x\) terms:
\[
5.16x + 3.2x = (5.16 + 3.2)x = 8.36x
\]
2. Combine the constant terms:
\[
-8.63 + 9.1 = 0.47
\]
Now, putting it all together, we have:
\[
8.36x + 0.47
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
8.36x + 0.47
\]
