Question

Which of the following equations , in it's simplest form , will be equivalent to 3x+2+(-5)?

A: 2+3x+5. B: x-1+x-2+x C: -3-3x-1+x
D: 3-3x

Answer 1

The correct answer would be B: x-1+x-2+x

Explanation:

First, you would do 2+(-5), from the given equation. Then, it could be simplified to 3x-3. Then, looking at B, you would add the like terms, meaning you would add all the x´s together, and the whole numbers together, giving you 3x-3. I hope I made this easy to understand for you!
