9) -8x - 11x

Question

  1. -8x - 11x

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms

To combine \(-8x\) and \(-11x\), we add their coefficients. The coefficient of \(x\) in \(-8x\) is \(-8\) and in \(-11x\) is \(-11\). So we calculate \(-8 + (-11)\).
\(-8 + (-11)=-19\)

Step2: Write the result with the variable

Multiply the sum of the coefficients by \(x\). So we have \(-19x\).

Answer:

\(-19x\)
