What is the sum of this expression?

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\large\textsf{(5.6x - 4) + (16 - 2.1x)}`

`\large\text{DROP the PARENTHESES}`

`\large\textsf{5.6x - 4 + 16 - 2.1x}`

`\large\text{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS}`

`\large\textsf{5.6x - 2.1x - 4 + 16}`

`\large\textsf{5.6x - 2.1x = \bf 3.5x}`

`\large\textsf{-4 + 16 = \bf 12}`

`\large\textsf{= \bf 3.5x + 12 }`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: \huge \bf 3.5x + 12}}}\huge\checkmark`
