Question 5979
--------------------------------------------------
Can you give me the answer.

8x +9 and 6x - 7 = (8x +6x) + (9-7)
-------------------------------------------------


You meant, PLUS for the "and".
Yes that is how you could show it.

{{{(8x+9)+(6x-7)}}}
{{{8x+9+6x-7}}}
{{{8x+6x+9-7}}}
{{{(8x+6x)+(9-7)}}}--------the part you ended
{{{14x+2}}}--------when simplified further
