Answer:

C; to make expressions shorter by simplifying

Explanation:

The reason we combine like terms is to shorten our expressions so they can be easier to be simplified

In the case where we have;

3x-4x+5x + 605 = 9x+ 5x + 60x - 32x

In this case where we want to find the value of x, it is necessary and expident that we combine all the x-values together

Doing this will give us a single value of x

The single value of x can be be evaluated as against the only value which is not having x as a coefficient
