Are you sure?
Apologies for the incorrect response. My mistake.
The correct answer is C. 8x + (-5 + 7 + 2x) - x = 38. This step shows the correct way to collect like terms by combining the terms with the same variable together (in this case, the terms with x) and also correctly grouping the constant terms together.
