add
(5y + 7) + (2x + 9)
(5y + 7) + (2x + 9) = \square (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

$(5y + 7)+(2x + 9)=5y + 7 + 2x + 9$

Step2: Combine like terms

Combine the constant terms: $7 + 9 = 16$. The terms with variables remain as they are since they have different variables. So we get $2x + 5y + 16$.

Answer:

$2x + 5y + 16$
