Can someone describe the process of Simplifying -12x + x - 3x - 9 + 5 - 1

Combine each like term. Any number in this expression with the variable x is a like term. -12x+1x-3x=-14x. The numbers with no variable are like terms. -9+5-1=-5. The simplified expression is -14x-5.

Step-by-step explanation:

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
