Answer 1

`\text{Hey there!}`

`\text{a will automatically equal one because it is unknown}`

`\text{First you have to distribute your negative sign}\downarrow`

`\text{Like: 2a - 5+ (-1)(3a+1)}`

`\text{We get: 2a+(-5)+(-1)(3a)+(-1)(1)}`

`\text{-1(3a)= -3a}`

`\text{-1(1)= -1}`

`\text{Our new equation becomes: 2a + (-5) + (-3a) + -1}`

`\text{After solving that COMBINE YOUR LIKE TERMS}`

`\text{\underline{2a}+ -5 + \underline{-3a} + -1 }`

`\text{(2a + -3a)+ (-5 + -1)}`

`\text{2a + -3a = -1a}`

`\text{-5 + -1 = -6}`

`\text{Now we can replace -1 with the value of -a}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\text{Thus, your answer is: D. -a - 6}}}}\checkmark`

`\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}`
