Question

(3x - 5) + (5x + 1)
Simplify it in polynomials

Answer 1

`\boxed{\boxed{\sf{8x-4}}}`

Solution Steps:

______________________________

1.) Combine 3x and 5x:

• 
  `3x+5x=8x`

- When there is more then 1 variable then you must combine them, (If possible.) In this case we have 2 variables, so to combine them you just have to add them together.

Equation at the end of Step 1:

• 
  `8x-5+1`

2.) Add −5 and 1:

• 
  `-5+1=-4`

- We do this because we need to get to 1 leftover number. So to do this, you just subtract/add the numbers by each other. In this case we have to add -5 by 1.

So your answer is
`\bold{8x-4}`.
