Answer:
18x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since all 3 are monomial terms with the same variable, we can add them together:
5x + 3x = 8x + 10x = 18x
If the discount is 15 percent, he still pays (100-15) or 85%
125.99 * 85%
125.99 * .85 = 107.09 is the price he pays for the rod
107.09 * .03 =3.21 is the sales tax
107.09+3.21=110.30 is the price of the rod with the discount and the tax
