The expression goes like this: 2x+y+5-3. x and y are variables so we cannot perform unless we have a linear or simultaneous or as such equations.But operation can be performed if like terms are present, but in your problem the answer will be: 2x+y+2
to simplify an expression means to take all the like terms and make them one. for example if the expression is 2x+5x+1x-4 , you would simplify it by adding 2x,5x,&1x because they are all alike... it would become 8x-4
It is an expression.
5x - 8a + 4a - 2x + a = 3x - 3a
x - 2x + 3 = 3 - x
