Answer 2

Answer: 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

By combining like terms, you combine what is can be combined together as long as they have the same variables and so on.

For this, add 2x + 3x, giving you 5x, and add 6 onto -13.

Since -13 is bigger, you end up with -7. You should end up with 5x -7
