Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{14x + 4}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{(5x + 2) - ( - 9x - 2)}`

When there is a ( - ) sign in front of an parentheses in an expression , change the sign of each term in the expression. Also, remove the parentheses

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{5x + 2 + 9x + 2}}`

Collect like terms

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{14x + 2 + 2}}`

Add the numbers : 2 and 2

`\dashrightarrow{ \sf{14x + 4}}`
