Combine X. which is 2x, -5x, x.

we combine -2x and -5x and gives me -3x.

2x -10 -5x -1 +x

now i combine the last x, which is -3x and x and gives us -2x.

-3x -10 -1 +x

now we just combine the rest of the numbers. -10 and -1 and gives me -11.

-2x -10 -1

we have now combine all the numbers and there's nothing else to combine. we're done combining. :))

ANSWER:

-2x-11
