Rewrite in simplest terms: (3x + 2) + (-10x – 3)

Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\tt -7x-1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the expression:
[tex](3x+2)+(-10x-3)[/tex]
Combine like terms.
The terms with variables can be combined, then the terms without variables (constants) can be combined.
[tex](3x+-10x)+(2+-3)[/tex]
[tex](3x-10x)+(2-3)[/tex]
Subtract 10x from 3x.
[tex](-7x)+(2-3)[/tex]
Subtract 3 from 2.
[tex](-7x)+(-1)[/tex]
[tex]-7x-1[/tex]
The simplified expression is -7x-1
