Simplify the expression. (3x−8)+(2x+5)−(4x−8) (1 point) Responses 9x−11 9 x minus 11 x+5 x plus 5 9x+5 9 x plus 5 x−11

Answer 1

Expanding the expression, we have:

(3x-8) + (2x+5) - (4x-8)

Rearranging terms, we get:

(3x + 2x - 4x) + (-8 + 5 + 8)

Combining like terms, we get:

-(-x) + 5

Simplifying further, we have:

x + 5

So, the simplified expression is x + 5.
