Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the like terms in the expression.
  • Step 2: Combine the constant terms.
  • Step 3: Combine the coefficients of xx.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The given expression is 11+5x2x+811 + 5x - 2x + 8. There are constants (11 and 8) and terms with xx (5x and -2x).
Step 2: Combine the constants: 11+8=1911 + 8 = 19.
Step 3: Combine the coefficients of xx: 5x2x=3x5x - 2x = 3x.

After simplification, the expression becomes 19+3x19 + 3x.

The correct solution from the multiple-choice options is 19+3x\boxed{19 + 3x}.

Answer

19+3X
