Answer 2

Answer:

15x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation 9x - 5 - (-6x) and are asked to solve it.

We cannot combine 9x and 5 because they have a variable difference, with 9 having x as its variable and 5 having no variable. What we can do is distribute the minus sign to the right of 5 to (-6x), lets do as said :

9x - 5 - (-6x)

Two negatives make a positive, therefore :

9x - 5 + 6x

Since 9x and 6x have the same variable ending, we can combine them, do as followed :

9x - 5 + 6x

9x + 6x

15x - 5
