Question

-X-24-8x - 2y=
combine like terms ​

Answer 1

-x - 24 - 8x - 2y = -9x - 2y -24

Answer 2

-9x-2y-24

Explanation:

-x-24-8x-2y

To combine like terms, the only ones you can combine would be the -x and -8x (due to both have the exponent of 'x')

-x= -1x, so -x-8x = -9x

-9x-2y-24 would be your answer since nothing else has like terms.
