Answer:
x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms.
You can subtract the 2x from the 3x and the 2 from the 5.
combine like terms:
3x+(-2x)= x
5+(-2)= 3
* the subtraction sign cancels the addition sign bc they are opposite operations, therefore you subtract.
add your results and you get: x+3
