Question

Combine like terms



5x + 4 − 3x + 6

2x + 10


2x + 24


8x + 10


8x + 24

Answer 1

To combine the like terms in the expression \(5x + 4 - 3x + 6\), follow these steps:

1. Combine the \(x\) terms:
\[
5x - 3x = 2x
\]

2. Combine the constant terms:
\[
4 + 6 = 10
\]

Now, put the combined terms together:
\[
2x + 10
\]

The simplified expression is \(2x + 10\). Therefore, the correct answer is:

**\(2x + 10\)**
