Answer 2

The correct answer is option A. 18x + 15

Explanation:

It is given an expression in variable x,

5(4x + 3) - 2x

To simplify the given expression

5(4x + 3) - 2x = (5 * 4x) + (5 * 3) - 2x (open the bracket)

= 20x + 15 - 2x

= 20x - 2x + 15

= 18x + 15

Therefore the correct answer is 18x + 15

The correct option is option A. 18x + 15
