Answer:

18 - 2x

Explanation:

All you need to do is distribute the first expression, and then see which option matches the original expression

3( x + 6 ) - 5x

Distributive property

3x + 18 - 5x

Combine like terms

-2x + 18

The one similar to this one is the last one

18 - 2x

Hope this helped!

Have a supercalifragilisitcexpialidocious day!

It’s 18-2x because 3 x X= 3x and 3 x 6= 18 then you would have to subtract 5x from the 3x making it minus 2 so your answer would be 18-2x
