Answer:

-2x +18 or 18 - 2x

Explanation:

You have 3x and you have -5x so take 5 away from 3 to get -2x

Then you have +8 and +10 so add them together and you get an answer of 18

Put the two answers from the equation together and you have got 18-2x

Hope this helps :)

Start by changing the problem to 3x + 8 + -5x + 10.

Combine like terms → your numbers and your "x" terms.

So 3x + -5x is -2x and 8 + 10 is 18.

So the answer is -2x + 18.
