Question 358381: "Simplify each expression below."
An example would be:
11-(3x-6)+2(4x+5)-x
I'm so confused on the subject because I switched schools. I'm new to the school and so the subject's new.
I keep trying to learn how to simplify equations, but I just can't seem to comprehend it...
Can someone please show me examples on how to simplify algebraic expressions? If so, that's be wonderful.
Thank you.

11-3x+6+8x+10-x
11+6+10-3x+8x-x
27-4x
