Here, all we need to do is subtitute w = 2 and x = 2 into the expression, by multiplying and adding. First, we will muliply 9w:
9w
9 · w =
9 · 2 =
18
Now, all we have to do is use our answer for 9w, and subtract x from it:
9w - x
18 - (2) =
18 - 2 =
16
So, our answer is 16.
Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
