To simplify the expression, we need to combine like terms:
Add 10 to 7.
17+15x-7x-6x
Now subtract 7x from 15x.
17+8x-6x
Now subtract 6x from 8x.
Our final simplified expression is 17+2x
Hope this helps!

Answer:

17 +2x

Explanation:

Break it down

Put all your variables (15x, -7x, and -6x) together

15x-7x-6x

8x-6x=2x

Then your numbers (7, and 10)

7+10=17

Put it back together, and get 17+2x or the other way around, 2x+17

Hope this helps you :)
