To simplify the expression \((3x−8)+(2x+5)−(4x−8)\), follow these steps:
1. Combine like terms:
\[
(3x + 2x - 4x) + (-8 + 5 + 8)
\]
2. Start with the \(x\) terms:
\[
3x + 2x - 4x = (3 + 2 - 4)x = 1x = x
\]
3. Then, combine the constant terms:
\[
-8 + 5 + 8 = (-8 + 8) + 5 = 0 + 5 = 5
\]
4. Combine both results:
\[
x + 5
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is \(x + 5\).
So the correct response is:
**x + 5**.
