I'll now simplify each of these expressions step by step:

Simplified Expressions:

  1. Expression 1: 4x+5x+7+x+24x + 5x + 7 + x + 2
    Combine like terms (all terms with xx and all constants): 4x+5x+x=10x,7+2=94x + 5x + x = 10x, \quad 7 + 2 = 9
    Simplified expression:
    10x+910x + 9

  2. Expression 2: 2n+35n+62n + 3 - 5n + 6
    Combine like terms (all terms with nn and all constants): 2n5n=3n,3+6=92n - 5n = -3n, \quad 3 + 6 = 9
    Simplified expression:
    3n+9-3n + 9

  3. Expression 3: 9b+2n4+2b-9b + 2n - 4 + 2b
    Combine like terms (all terms with bb and nn, and constants): 9b+2b=7b,2n=2n,4=4-9b + 2b = -7b, \quad 2n = 2n, \quad -4 = -4
    Simplified expression:
    7b+2n4-7b + 2n - 4

  4. Expression 4: 7g+383g+7h-7g + 3 - 8 - 3g + 7h
    Combine like terms (all terms with gg, hh, and constants): 7g3g=10g,7h=7h,38=5-7g - 3g = -10g, \quad 7h = 7h, \quad 3 - 8 = -5
    Simplified expression:
    10g+7h5-10g + 7h - 5

  5. Expression 5: 8+2d75d+12-8 + 2d - 7 - 5d + 12
    Combine like terms (all terms with dd and constants): 2d5d=3d,87+12=32d - 5d = -3d, \quad -8 - 7 + 12 = -3
    Simplified expression:
    3d3-3d - 3

  6. Expression 6: 5b+73b45b + 7 - 3b - 4
    Combine like terms (all terms with bb and constants): 5b3b=2b,74=35b - 3b = 2b, \quad 7 - 4 = 3
    Simplified expression:
    2b+32b + 3

Summary of Simplified Expressions:

  2. 3n+9-3n + 9
  3. 7b+2n4-7b + 2n - 4
  4. 10g+7h5-10g + 7h - 5
  5. 3d3-3d - 3
  6. 2b+32b + 3
