See a solution process below:

First, group like terms:

$2 x + x + 3$ $2x + x + 3$

Now, combine like terms:

$2 x + x + 3 \Rightarrow$ $2x + x + 3 =>$

$2 x + 1 x + 3 \Rightarrow$ $2x + 1x + 3 =>$

$(2 + 1) x + 3 \Rightarrow$ $(2 + 1)x + 3 =>$

$3 x + 3$ $3x + 3$

If necessary, we could also factor out the common term:

$(3 \times x) + (3 \times 1) \Rightarrow$ $(3 xx x) + (3 xx 1) =>$

$3 (x + 1)$ $3(x + 1)$

$3 x + 3$ $3x+3$

Given: $2 x + 3 + x$ $2x+3+x$ .

Add like-terms.

$= 3 x + 3$ $=3x+3$

We can also factor. Take out the common term, which is $3$ $3$ .

$= 3 (x + 1)$ $=3(x+1)$
