Question

Rewrite in simplest terms: left parenthesis, minus, x, plus, 5, right parenthesis, plus, left parenthesis, 10, x, plus, 6, right parenthesis(−x+5)+(10x+6)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((-x + 5) + (10x + 6)\), we start by removing the parentheses:

\[
-x + 5 + 10x + 6
\]

Next, we combine like terms. For the \(x\) terms, we have:

\[
-x + 10x = 9x
\]

For the constant terms, we have:

\[
5 + 6 = 11
\]

Putting it all together, we get:

\[
9x + 11
\]

So the simplified expression is:

\[
9x + 11
\]
