Alright, let's work through the given problem step-by-step:
1. We are asked to evaluate the sum: [tex]\( +5 + 8 \)[/tex].
2. Start by examining the first term:
- The first term is [tex]\( +5 \)[/tex].
3. Then, look at the second term:
- The second term is [tex]\( 8 \)[/tex].
4. To find the sum of [tex]\( +5 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 8 \)[/tex], we add the two numbers together:
- Adding [tex]\( +5 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 8 \)[/tex] gives us [tex]\( 13 \)[/tex].
Therefore, the sum of [tex]\( +5 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 8 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 13 \)[/tex].
Hence, [tex]\( +5 + 8 = 13 \)[/tex].
