Answer: 37x

Explanation:

because both terms have an x after them, they are "like terms", so you can add the coefficients (numbers in front of x)

32+5=37

so your answer is 37x because you keep the term

ex. 5x+6y are different terms so you can't add them, 5 is in terms of x and 6 is in terms of y.

It's like say i have 5 times a certain numbers of apples

and 6 times a certain number of oranges

and they want to know how many apples you have

you can't say 30 times that number of apples. It just is 5 times that number of apples. you can't combine
