    8x-2+3x+10 combine like terms

    (8x+3x) + (-2+10)

    11x+8 There is no whole common factors so this is already simplified.

    To simplify expressions, distribute if needed and combine like terms if needed.

    Like terms are terms that have the same variable (s) (or lack thereof) and are to the same exponent. If a exponent is not shown, an exponent to 1 is implied.

    In the expression 8x - 2 + 3x + 10 what terms can be combined? The terms - 2 and 10 can be combined as they both have no variable and are to the same power.

    8x - 2 + 3x + 10

    8x + 3x + 8

    Likewise with the terms 8x and 3x can be combined. Because they both have the variable and are to the same power.

    8x + 3x + 8

    11x + 8

    So, 11x + 8 is the answer.
