    - * 9x = - 9x

    - * + 8 = - 8

    -9x - 2x = - 11x

    -8 - - 10 = + 2

    answer = - 11x + 2

    Answer: C) - 11x+2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1) First you have to distribute the negative sign to the numbers in the parentheses ... so it would be then become (-9x-8) + (-2x+5)

    2) Now you add like terms, so the x's with the x's and the constants with the constants ... - 9x-2x is - 11x and - 8+10 is 2

    3) So your final answer is - 11x+2
