Step-by-step explanation:
3x and 2x are like terms so,
3x + 5 - 2x
3x - 2x + 5 = x + 5
Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to simplify the expression
[tex]\star~~\large\pmb{3x+5-2x}[/tex].
[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]
- Combine like terms.
The like terms here are: 3x-2x; let's combine them:
[tex]\star~\large\pmb{x+5}[/tex]
We can't simplify this any further, because x and 5 are not like terms.

[tex]\fbox{Variables\:and\;numbers\;are\;not\;like\;terms}[/tex]
Hope it helps you out! :D
