When there is a ( - ) sign in front of an parentheses in an expression , change the sign of each term in the expression. Also, remove the parentheses
[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{5x + 2 + 9x + 2}}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{14x + 2 + 2}}[/tex]
Add the numbers : 2 and 2
[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{14x + 4}}[/tex]
