Question

Evaluate the expression.
3 + 5₂

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(3 + 5_2\), we first need to interpret what \(5_2\) means. The subscript \(2\) indicates that \(5_2\) is in base 2 (binary).

In binary, the digit \(5\) is not a valid digit because binary only uses the digits \(0\) and \(1\). Therefore, it seems there might be a misunderstanding about what \(5_2\) means.

However, if we consider \(5\) itself in decimal (base 10), then we can perform the addition like this:

\[
3 + 5 = 8
\]

So the result of the expression \(3 + 5_2\) (if we treat it as \(3 + 5\)) is:

\[
\boxed{8}
\]

If you meant to express \(5\) in a different way or if \(5_2\) was meant to represent something else, please provide clarification!
