This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
1 plus 1 is 2.
Use your fingers, put up one finger and one finger. Put them together and you have two

The sum formula for a geometric sequaence is:
sum(n) = a1(1-r^n)/1-r
Where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio:
s(8) = 3(1-1/2^8) / (1-1/2)
s(8) = 3(1-1/256) / 1/2
s(8) = 2 253/256 / 1/2
s(8) = 765/128
The answer is C.
