Simplify the expression by combining like terms.

Question

7x-3+2x+6

A
12x

B
9x - 3

C
9x + 3

D
5x + 9

Answer 1

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

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

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

Putting it all together, we get: \[ 9x + 3 \]

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

The correct answer is C \( 9x + 3 \).
