Answer:

10.7x + 5

Explanation:

(3.5x - 5) + (7.2x + 10)

Take out the parenthesis so it can be easier to see

3.5x - 5 + 7.2x + 10

Combine like terms

(3.5x and 7.2x) and ( -5 and 10)

10.7x + 5

And you cannot simplify it anymore

Hope this helped!

Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!
