Question

D: Simplify 2x + 5 + x

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you can't add 5 with x or 2x, the only way you can simplify is by adding the x and 2x together. x is basically 1x, so you get 3x.

Answer 2

3x + 5

Just combine like terms. The like terms are 2x and x. You can also write x as 1x. The sign is addition so you at 2x + 1x and get 3x. So now you have 3x + 5,you can’t add 3x + 5 cause they aren’t like terms so that’s your answer. :)
