Problem 48
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$5 x+13 x$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified algebraic expression is \(18x\).
1Step 1: Identify the Like Terms
The given expression is \(5x + 13x\). Here, both parts of the expression are like terms because they both have the same variable \(x\) to the same power, which is 1 in this case.
2Step 2: Combine Like Terms
To simplify the expression, the like terms should be combined by addition. \(5x +13x\) becomes \(18x\).
