Question

(3x - 5y ) + (5x + 2y - 3)​

Answer 1

8x - 3y - 3

Explanation:

Add the like terms together to simplify the equation. So add 3x with 5x due to them having the same variables. Then add 5y and 2y. 3 would be left alone because it does not have a like term.

Answer 2

`8x-3y-3`

Explanation:

`\left(3x-5y\right)+\left(5x+2y-3\right)`

Get rid of parentheses :

`\hookrightarrow 3x-5y+5x+2y-3`

Combine like terms:

`\hookrightarrow 3x+5x=8x`

`\hookrightarrow -5y+2y=-3y`

`\hookrightarrow 8x-3y-3`
