Answer:

-6x+14 or 14-6x

Explanation:

We are given the expression:

9-6x+5

We want to combine like terms.

Let's examine each term.

⇒ 9 : constant, no variable

⇒ -6x : has a variable, x

⇒ 5: constant, no variable.

There are 2 constants and 1 term with a variable. The 2 constants can be combined. Add 9 and 5.

-6x + (9+5)

-6x +14

or

14-6x

The expression 9-6x+5 can be simplified to -6x+14 or 14-6x
