The right answer is B.
The first step to answering this question is combining all like terms.
A. 2x + 2 + 2x + 3x - 8
The like terms in this expression are the x terms and the constants
So, what you would do is combine all of the x terms and combine all of the constants
(2x + 2x +3x) + (2 - 8)
7x - 6
B. 4 + 7x - 2
In this expression, you would combine all of the constants
7x + (4 - 2)
7x + 2
C. -2 + 5x + 2x - 4
For this expression, you would again, combine all of the x terms and all of the constants.
-2 + 5x + 2x - 4
(5x + 2x) + (-2 - 4)
7x - 6
D. 8x - x - 6
For this expression, you would combine all of the x terms
8x - x - 6
(8x - x) - 6
7x - 6
Now let's look at all of the new answer choices:
A. 7x - 6
B. 7x + 2
C. 7x - 6
D. 7x - 6
The question is asking you to find the one expression that's different. The only different one is B, so that's the answer.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be A because b+a
