I'm going to take a guess regarding what you meant to type in:
<span>3x-9 X +6x+5
E(x)= ------- × -------------
2 2
X -9 X +5x+6
3(x+3) 6x+5
becomes E(x) = ----------- * ------------
x-9 5x+6
This cannot be reduced.
Try again to share this problem. Thank you.

Answer: Combination: 9636
Step-by-step explanation: Combine the numbers of each section without going past the number 9
I believe you are expected to simplify. To do this all you do is group like terms (x, x², x³ etc.) and then simplify the coefficients.
13. 10z + 7z - 19z² - 5z² - 17z
first you can rearrange and group like terms (remember the bring the sign in front of each term with it). I would do it like this:
-19z² - 5z² +10z + 7z - 17z
Now simplify the coefficients:
-24z² + 0z
you can omit the 0z and your simplified answer is
-24z²
Main thing to remember here is that z and z² cannot be simplified together, nor can any variable that has an exponent because the exponent makes them differ.
