Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\sf{8x-4}}}[/tex]
Solution Steps:
______________________________
1.) Combine 3x and 5x:
- When there is more then 1 variable then you must combine them, (If possible.) In this case we have 2 variables, so to combine them you just have to add them together.
Equation at the end of Step 1:
2.) Add −5 and 1:
- We do this because we need to get to 1 leftover number. So to do this, you just subtract/add the numbers by each other. In this case we have to add -5 by 1.
So your answer is [tex]\bold{8x-4}[/tex].
