Question

Simplify 16 - 8 + 5x- 3x
8+8 x
10 x
8 + 2 x
16 + 2 x

Answer 1

Because of the x between the 5 and 3 u have to put them in a bracket form or group like terms. After that u subtract the 16 from 8 and the 5x from the 3x so the answer will be equal to 8 +2x because 16-8=8 and 5x-3x=2x so it will be 8+2x

Answer 2

8 + 2x

Explanation:

To simplify this expression, combine like terms.

16 - 8 = 8

5x - 3x = 2x

8 + 2x

hope this helps :)
