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

D.
Because you can combine all like terms. 2x and -x can be solved. That would equal x. +3 and +5 can be combined to make a positive 8. Therefore the answer would be x+8.

Ok so at first this problem may seem confusing but no worries. MATH is like that so our first step is to combine like terms which are the variables in the equation . So we have 2x+3-x+5 so like I said combine like terms is the first step so 2x and 1x are like terms because they have the variable x involved so when we subtract we get a result of 1x now wr have to add the constants which afr the numbers without variables which would equal the final form 1x+8 your answer is d

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
