Myra combined the like terms in the algebraic expression correctly. Which statement correctly describes what Myra did? 8 x squared plus 7 minus 2 x squared plus x

The like terms are 8x² and −2x² because both contain x². Combine their coefficients: 8 + (−2) = 6, giving 6x² + x + 7. So Myra combined 8 and negative 2, as stated in choice C.
