Question

Which expressions are equivalent to 5 +(-3)(6x-5)?

A : 18x– 20
B : 3x - 3
C: None of the above
Please help

Answer 1

C: None of the above

Answer 2

C. None of the above

Explanation:

You can get the equivalent expression by simplifying the expression above.

• 5+(-3)(6x-5)

• 5+ (-18x+15)
• 5-18x+15
• -18x+20

-18x+20 is not the same with 18x-20, therefore A is not a correct answer.

For example, the value of x is 2.

• -18(2) + 20 = ?
• -36 + 20 = ?
• -16

• 18(2) - 20 =?
• 36 - 20 = ?
• 16

-16 and 16 are not the same
