Hey there!

The only thing we can do to simplify this expression is to combine 5a and 2a, the two like terms in the expression.

Our final answer is 7a + 9.

Hope this helps!

To simplify the equation, you would combine the similar numbers / numbers with the same variables (the like-terms).

For example, in this equation:

5a + 2a + 9,

2 numbers have the same variable, so you would combine them, making it 7a + 9, and since the equation doesn't have any other numbers the combine, that would be the simplified equation.

The answer is 7a + 9.

I hope this helps!
