The expression given is:


2.5x+4.3x-5

We add like terms (if any) and then simplify.

There are two x's terms, so we add them up and keep "-5" as is.

Thus, we add

2.5x + 4.3x = 6.8x

So, the expression simplifies to:


\begin{gathered} 2.5x+4.3x-5 \\ =6.8x-5 \end{gathered}

The answer is:

6.8x - 5
