Answer:

If you mean 14x - 16y + 4x - 9 + 36x + 24 then the answer would be 54x−16y+15

Explanation:

If you mean 14x - 16y + 4x - 9 + 36x + 24 then this is how you do it

Rearrange the numbers so that the like terms are next each other:

(14x + 4x + 36x) + (−16y) + (−9 + 24)

Simplify it:

(54x) + (-16y) + (15)

Remove the parentheses:

54x + - 16 + 15

Simplify it one more time:

54x - 16 + 15

And that's your answer: 54x - 16 + 15
