Answer:

211a+9x

Explanation:

first, calculate the exponents (the number times itself) of each number

9a +81a +121a+9x

the reason they are positive is that a negative times a negative equals a positive ex: -3 x -3 = 9

next, combine the coefficients

starting with the variable for a

9a+81a+121a= 211a

x has no other coefficients so it would remain 9x

so the simplified answer would be

211a+9x
