Answer:
11x - 10
Explanation:
because there is a plus sign between the brackets, we just assume there are no brackets at all........so it will be:
9x - 2 + 2x - 8,,,,,,,,,bring the like terms together
9x + 2x - 2 - 8 = 11x -10.
the answer has a minus sign because when working out two negative numbers, we add them but still maintain the negative sign.
NOTE: If the sign between the brackets was a minus , the sign in the second expression would have changed from -8 to +8
