Answer: 10x + 2

______________________________________

Sweetheart to get the answer simply get the two coefficients.

(Coefficients: Numbers that have a variable next to them)

(Variables: A symbol for a value we don't know yet ; Ex. x, y, a etc.)

Then add them together!

2x + 8x = 10x

Then subtract the numbers without variables.

5 - 3 = 2

Then add them back up again to get

10x + 2

Hope you have a good day, Loves!~
