Answer:
8+3x
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify this equation, we can use PEMDAS, or the order of operations.
1. Parenthesis
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication>Division (Depends on who comes first left to right)
4. Addition>Subtraction(Same as multiplication>Division)
Now, we just need to solve the equation.
First, solve the parenthesis.
We can use the distributive property, since there is a subtraction symbol before the parenthesis, we can multiply both numbers by -1.
Now our equation is 5-x+3+4x
Next, use the commutative property to add together all the seperated common terms.
Now our equation is 8+3x, since we added 3 to 5 and 4x to -x.
Hope this helps!
