Question

Combine like terms: x + 5 x minus 2 x + 3 minus 4.
A. 4 x minus 1
B. 3 x plus 1
C. 3 x minus 1
D. negative 10 x minus 12

Answer 1

x + 5x - 2x + 3 - 4
combine like terms
(x is the same as 1x) so we have 1x + 5x - 2x = 6x - 2x = 4x
and then we have 3 - 4 = -1
so put them together and we have : 4x - 1
