Answer:
14x + 7
Explanation:
Alright, let's get started!
A quick note:
Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally = P E M D A S,
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
YOU MUST USE THIS IN THE CORRECT ORDER!!!!!
Ok, I think we get it now... let's actually start now!
3 ( x + 5 ) - 8 + 11x
Parentheses first!
= 3x + 15 - 8 +11x
Combine like terms!
= 3x + 11x + 15 - 8
(Sometimes you can make signs or move the like terms next to each other as to not get confused)
= 14x + 7
Now, this is all we can do! Therefore we have our answer...... (drumroll please)
14x + 7
Sing the numbers loud, and wear them proud!
Nice job, everyone!
