Number 3 is a pair of like terms. like terms always has the same variable and u can combine them.
5x and 7x
as u can see, both 5 and 7 has the variable x. so u can combine them and get the same answer.
For example, if u do 5x + 7x u get 12x. Let's say x=2
5(2) + 7(2) = 10 + 14
=24
12(2) = 24 u get the same answer.
