Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

To simplify an expression like the one, you have to collect all the like terms and do the operation individually for each group of like terms.

In 2+5+3x+1+2x, the like terms are:

2,5,1 and 3x,2x

Solve them individually.

2+5+1=8

3x+2x =5x.

Put the, back and the final answer is 5x+8

Hope this helps
