Answer:
40-9x+4x+5=
45-5x
You can't do anything else because the variables are different.
-5x + 45
Step-by-step explanation:
40 - 9x + 4x + 5
you combine like terms
Coefficient + Coefficient ( -9x + 4x)
and
Constant + Constant ( 40 + 5 )
since there isn't an equal sign you can't solve for x and this is as close as you can get to solved without knowing what x is
