Respuesta :
5x - 2. Just combine like terms, and distribute the + to the second term.
Answer:
C) 5x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When parentheses are preceded by a + sign, they may be immediately removed. Two additions and one subtraction are called for here: 2x + 5 + 3x - 7. This is 5x - 2.
(2x + 5) + (3x - 7)
2x + 5 + 3x - 7
2x + 3x - 7 + 5
5x - 2.
