Answer:

8x

Explanation:

To do this we simply add the coefficients of x to give us our answer:

3 + 5 = 8

So our answer is 8x

One way to put this into perspective is to imagine x is the number of apples:

If you add 3 apples and 5 apples you get 8 apples.

Always do this trick when collecting like terms in algebra.
