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.

Hope this helps!!!
