Question

13x + 5 + 17x -4.5 + x

Answer 1

31x+0.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

In this problem, we must combine like terms to simplify the expression. We can begin by writing out the expression:

13x + 5 + 17x - 4.5 + x

Now that we have rewritten the expression, we can combine like terms to simplify the expression. This would look like:

13x + 17x + x = 31x

5 - 4.5 = 0.5

The answer would be “31x + 0.5” when simplified.
