Question

Can you solve this equation for me?
simplify the expression 6-2x+5+4x

Answer 1

11 + 2x

Explanation:

First you will want to separate like variables, so (6, 5) and then (-2x, 4x)

Then you will use the signs to do the math. You can move everything to help visualize the solution easier.

6+5+4x-2x

6+5 = 11

4x-2x = 2x

Because you cannot add or subtract a variable with a non variable, and both numbers are positive you end up with

11 + 2x
