Answer:

-5x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine which terms are alike.

Alike terms are numbers that have the same variable.

These numbers both have the same variable, (x) so just add the numbers:

-7 + 2 = -5

You got 5, so now just add back on the variable, (x), making your answer -5x.
