Select the expressions that are equivalent to 5f + 3f. Multi-select Choices: (A)2f + 6f (B)f^8 (C)f + 8 (D)7f

Simplify expression: Simplify the expression 5f + 3f. Combine like terms by adding the coefficients of f. 5f + 3f = 8f Combine like terms: Compare the simplified expression 8f to the multi-select choices. (A) 2f + 6f simplifies to 8f. 2f + 6f = 8f Compare with choices: Check if choice (B) f^8 is equivalent to 8f. f^8 represents f raised to the power of 8, not 8 times f. This is not equivalent to 8f Check choice (B): Check if choice (C) f + 8 is equivalent to 8f. f + 8 represents 1f plus 8, not 8 times f. This is not equivalent to 8f Check choice (C): Check if choice (D) 7f is equivalent to 8f. 7f represents 7 times f, which is not equal to 8 times f. This is not equivalent to 8f

Simplify expression: Simplify the expression $5f + 3f$ . Combine like terms by adding the coefficients of $f$ . $5f + 3f = 8f$
Combine like terms: Compare the simplified expression $8f$ to the multi-select choices. $\newline$ (A) $2f + 6f$ simplifies to $8f$ . $\newline$ $2f + 6f = 8f$
Compare with choices: Check if choice (B) $f^8$ is equivalent to $8f$ . $f^8$ represents $f$ raised to the power of $8$ , not $8$ times $f$ . This is not equivalent to $8f$
Check choice (B): Check if choice (C) $f + 8$ is equivalent to $8f$ . $f + 8$ represents $1f$ plus $8$ , not $8$ times $f$ . This is not equivalent to $8f$
Check choice (C): Check if choice (D) $7f$ is equivalent to $8f$ . $\newline$ $7f$ represents $7$ times $f$ , which is not equal to $8$ times $f$ . $\newline$ This is not equivalent to $8f$
