Answer:

15x² + 12x

Explanation:

Algebraic expression addition:

  • Open the brackets by multiplying each term of (-9x² - 10x) by (-1).
  • Then combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same exponent.

6x² & 9x² are like terms and 2x & 10x are like terms.

6x² + 2x - (-9x² - 10x) = 6x² + 2x + 9x² + 10x

= 6x² + 9x² + 2x + 10x

= 15x² + 12x
