Answer

Option B is correct.

7x - 5y - 2x - 3 + 5y

= 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation

To simplify this expression, we will just combine the terms with y, terms with x and the terms without x and y seperately.

7x - 5y - 2x - 3 + 5y

= 7x - 2x - 5y + 5y - 3

= 5x + 0 - 3

= 5x - 3

Hope this Helps!!!
