So to solve this we just have to get the like terms together!in this expression we dont have many like terms but just two which are 4 and -18 , so lets get them together and solve!
4 + 9xy - 18 - 2x
=9xy -18 +4 -2x ( and now out here we would subtract -18 and 4 and so this will give us our answer)
=9xy - 14 - 2x ( now we just have to plave these in their correct places)
= 9xy -2x -14 ANSWER
So now your not an anonymous user so i hope u know what i always say at this point and hope u know what to do if u dont uderstand this!
hope this helps!
