combining terms in x with constants
13x + 5 ≠ 18x
13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x
= (13x + 17x + x ) + 5 - 4.5 <--- collecting like terms
= 31x + 0.5 <--- correct simplification
The answerer is combining terms in x with constants
that is, 13x + 5 ≠ 18x
13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x
= (13x + 17x + x ) + 5 - 4.5 ← collecting like terms
= 31x + 0.5 ← correct simplification
