What's the simplified form of 2x + 3 − x + 5? a. x − 8 b. 3x + 8 c. x − 2 d. x + 8

For this problem, you will need to combine like terms.

We can see that 2x and -x both have an x, just different coefficients. Thus, we can combine them to just x. Also, we see that 3 and 5 are both constants so we can combine them to get 8. Thus, our answer is D, x + 8.

Represented as an equation:

the answer is d

hope this
