Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \tt{2x + 5}}}}$

$\text{8x - 4 - 6x + 9}$

First, combine like terms :

Like terms are those which have the same base.

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{8x - 6x - 4 + 9}}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{2x - 4 + 9}}$

Remember : The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but posses the sign of the bigger integer.

$\longrightarrow{ \boxed{ \sf{2x + 5}}}$

And we're done!

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
