What is the answer to 2x-5+x+y-3 using the distributive property

step-by-step explanation:

first, we combine like terms. 2x-5+x+y-3 = 3x-y-8

you can't simplify further, therefore it cannot be factored.

A.   x < -4  or  x >= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A solid dot at 3, and shading to the right, means all numbers greater than or equal to 3.

An open dot at -4 and shading to the left means all numbers less than -4.

A number cannot be both 3 or greater AND less than 4, so you must use the word "or" between the the two parts of the answer.

A.   x < -4  or  x >= 3
