1. Problem: Rewrite the expression $2x + 7 + 3x - 2 + 3$ by combining like terms.
2. Formula: Combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable and constants.
3. Step 1: Group like terms:
$$2x + 3x + 7 - 2 + 3$$
4. Step 2: Add coefficients of $x$:
$$2x + 3x = 5x$$
5. Step 3: Add constants:
$$7 - 2 + 3 = 8$$
6. Step 4: Write the simplified expression:
$$5x + 8$$
Final answer: $5x + 8$
