Question

What's the simplified form of 2x + 3 − x + 5?

A. x + 8
B. x − 2
C. x − 8
D. 3x + 8

Answer 1

First, separate the x's and the numbers:
+2x and -x
+3 and +5

Next, solve those sums:
+2x - x = 1x = x
+3 +5 = 8

Answer: A. x+ 8

Answer 2

The simplified form of the expression given in the question 2x + 3 − x + 5 is x + 8 .

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

As the expression given in the question is as follows

= 2x + 3 − x + 5

It is written as

= 2x − x + 5 + 3

Now the solving the above

= x + 8

Therefor the simplified form of the expression given in the question 2x + 3 − x + 5 is x + 8 .
