Answer:

3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer because since 8x and -5x are like terms, you are able to subtract them from each other. 8x-5x is 3x. Since you cant add 12 to 5x because they aren't like terms, you leave the expression as it is right now. Finally, your answer is 3x + 12.

Hope I helped! Have a good day.
