Answer 2

To simplify the expression -(11x-7) + (7x+9) - 8, you can follow these steps:

1. Distribute the negative sign through the first parentheses: -(11x-7) = -11x + 7

2. Now, you can rewrite the expression with the distributed terms: (-11x + 7) + (7x + 9) - 8

3. Combine like terms by adding or subtracting the coefficients of 'x' and constants: -11x + 7x = -4x 7 + 9 - 8 = 8

4. Now, you have the simplified expression: -4x + 8

So, -(11x-7) + (7x+9) - 8 simplifies to -4x + 8.
