We have that


120x+(-2x)

Remember that if you multiply plus and minus you get minus. Check out this table for sing multiplication

In other words, if you multiply two sings that are the same, you get a plus. Otherwise, you'll get a minus.

Therefore,


120x+(-2x)\rightarrow120x-2x\rightarrow118x

The answer is 118x
