Answer:
8+3x
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify this equation, we can use PEMDAS, or the order of operations.
1. <u>Parenthesis</u>
2. <u>Exponents</u>
3. <u>Multiplication>Division (Depends on who comes first left to right)</u>
4. <u>Addition>Subtraction(Same as multiplication>Division)</u>
Now, we just need to solve the equation.
First, solve the <u>parenthesis</u>.
We can use the distributive property, since there is a subtraction symbol before the parenthesis, we can multiply both numbers by -1.
Now our equation is 5-x+3+4x
Next, use the commutative property to add together all the seperated common terms.
Now our equation is 8+3x, since we added 3 to 5 and 4x to -x.
Hope this helps!
