Answer:

-16x-28

Step-by-step explanation:

Break it into little pieces; start with distributing the -7:

-7(5+x)

-35-7x

Now add the rest of the problem: 7-35-7x-9x

Combine like terms: 7-35               7x-9x

7-35=-28             7x-9x=-16x

Rearrange so the coefficient and variable are upfront, giving you:

-16x-28
