Given the expressions below, which of the following correctly solves for a + b and b - a?

a: 3x - 2

b: -6x - 7

the answers are in the image

If you would like to calculate A + B and B - A, you can do this using the following steps:

A = 3 * X - 2
B = - 6 * X - 7

A + B = (3 * X - 2) + (- 6 * X - 7) = - 3 * X - 9
B - A = (- 6 * X - 7) - (3 * X - 2) = - 9 * X - 5

The correct result would be B. 

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
