it is: 3x-11
we have to remove the unnecessary parentheses then we have to expand: x-4+2x-7
Finally we collect the like terms and calculate
that’s why the answer is 3x-11

Answer:

3x - 11

Explanation:

( x - 4 ) + ( 2x − 7 )

*it's better to take away the parenthesis

x - 4 + 2x - 7

Combine like terms

( x with 2x, and -4 with -7)

3x - 11

And you cannot simplify it anymore

Hope this helped!
