Explain how to combine the terms 5x an 3x

below

Step-by-step explanation:

In short, we will add both coefficients together to combine like terms.

3x + 5x → x(3 + 5) → 8x

If you have a value like 2x and 2, you cannot combine them because they do not have the same variable.

Best of Luck!

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?

step-by-step explanation:

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
