Answered by Reiny
8x-2+5-5x-2+3
= 8x - 5x + 5 - 2 - 2 + 3
= 3x + 4

Answered by Ms. Sue
Isn't 3x + 4 simplifying your original problem?
Answered by Aaron
i don't really no actually
Answered by Ms. Sue
Since you posted your question here, I suggest you take the word of two of our teachers -- that Reiny did simplify it.

If you still don't understand, please ask your teacher to explain it to you.
