Answer:

The given expression −12x+3−4x+5+32x simplifies to 8(2x + 1).

Explanation:

Consider the given expression −12x+3−4x+5+32x.

We need to simplify the above expression,

Give expression −12x+3−4x+5+32x

like terms are terms having same variables and powers.

Here, like terms are -12x, -4x, 32x and 3,5

We first write like terms together as,

⇒ (-12x - 4x + 32x)+ (3 + 5)

On simplifying, we get,

⇒ (-12 -4 +32)x + 8

⇒ (-16 +32)x + 8

⇒ (16)x + 8

Taking 8 common from both the terms , we get,

⇒ 8(2x + 1)

Thus, the given expression −12x+3−4x+5+32x simplifies to 8(2x + 1).
