Don't let the parenthesis fool you. Since there is a plus in the middle, you can just combine like terms. Let's do number 1:


5x+7+x+2

Combine like terms.


6x+9

This is as simple as you can get it. Now, let's do number 2:


-6x+3+x-7

Combine like terms.


-5x-4

This is as simple as you can get it.

Final Answers:

1.)
6x+9

2.)
-5x-4
