Question

Simplify.
2x - 15 + 3x - 33 - 10

• 5x - 48
• 5x² - 58
• 5x - 38
• 5x - 58

​

Answer 1

I might be wrong, but I would say the answer is

•5x - 58

The method used to solve this equation is Combine like Terms!

What you do is add the numbers with the x values.

In this case (2x + 3x) = 5x

Then add the regular whole numbers

In this case ( -15 + (-33) + (-10) ) = -58

Therefore making the answer

•5x - 58

Sorry if I’m wrong!!
Hope this helps! <3
