Answer 2

`1.56x+ 10.15`

Explanation:

Consider the given expression is

`(5.23x + 3.76) - (3.67x - 6.39)`

We need to find the simplified form of the given expression.

Using distributive property we get

`5.23x + 3.76 - (3.67x)-( - 6.39)`

`5.23x + 3.76 - 3.67x+6.39`

On combining like terms we get

`(5.23x - 3.67x)+ (3.76+6.39)`

`1.56x+ 10.15`

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is
`1.56x+ 10.15`.
