Question 775068: Simplify the expression using like terms...I came up with 4x+2x^2+5 I just want to make sure I am doing it correctly before I do my entire homework assignment. Thank you
Problem is: x+3x-3+2x^2+8-5x

This is a start:
x+3x-3+2x^2+8-5x, given.

2x^2+3x-5x+x-3+8, commutative property for addition.

... combine like terms.

You almost had the correct result but seemed to make a 'small' arithmetic mistake.
