Answer:

4x-2

Explanation:

2x-5+5-x+3x-2

Add the values that are similar, so in this case it would be 2x-x+3x

and x by itself is one so I usually rewrite it to 1x and it might be easier to highlight the similar values like

2x-5+5-1x+3x-2

then you combine like terms to get

2x-x+3x and -5+5-2

x+3x -2

and then you'd get 4x-2
