The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of adding the algebraic expressions \(7x, -3x, 5x, -x, -2x\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the expression We start with the expression: \[ 7x + (-3x) + 5x + (-x) + (-2x) \] ### Step 2: Combine like terms Next, we can group the positive and negative terms together. The positive terms are \(7x\) and \(5x\), and the negative terms are \(-3x\), \(-x\), and \(-2x\). ### Step 3: Add the positive terms Now, we add the positive terms: \[ 7x + 5x = 12x \] ### Step 4: Add the negative terms Next, we add the negative terms: \[ -3x + (-x) + (-2x) = -3x - x - 2x \] This simplifies to: \[ -3x - 1x - 2x = -6x \] ### Step 5: Combine the results Now we combine the results from the positive and negative terms: \[ 12x + (-6x) = 12x - 6x = 6x \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final result of adding the expressions \(7x, -3x, 5x, -x, -2x\) is: \[ \boxed{6x} \] ---
