Question: 1 / 400

What is the expression for 5(x - 2) + 3x simplified?

5x - 10

8x - 10

To simplify the expression 5(x - 2) + 3x, you first distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses. This results in:

5 * x - 5 * 2, which gives you 5x - 10.

Now, the expression can be rewritten as:

5x - 10 + 3x.

Next, you combine the like terms, which are the terms involving x. You have 5x and 3x, which combine to make 8x. Thus, you rewrite the expression as:

8x - 10.

The final simplified expression is 8x - 10.
