Question

Explain how to combine the terms 5x an 3x

Answer 1

You add 5x+3x and get 8x

Answer 2

below

Explanation:

In short, we will add both coefficients together to combine like terms.

3x + 5x → x(3 + 5) → 8x

If you have a value like 2x and 2, you cannot combine them because they do not have the same variable.

Best of Luck!
