Simplify the expresion by combining like terms

Question

7x - 3 + 2x +6

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 7x - 3 + 2x + 6 \), we can combine like terms.

First, let's group the \( x \) terms together and the constant terms together:

1. Combine the \( x \) terms: \( 7x + 2x = 9x \)

2. Combine the constant terms: \( -3 + 6 = 3 \)

Now, putting it all together, we get:

\[ 9x + 3 \]

So, the simplified expression is \( 9x + 3 \).
