Answer 1

A) See below

B) Yes

Explanation:

A)

Substitute 0 for x

3(x + 2) + 2x - 1

3(0 + 2) + 2(0) -1

3(2) + 0 - 1

6 + 0 - 1

5

5x + 5

5(0) + 5

0 + 5

5

B

Yes, I got the same answer 5.

We can also simplify the first expression and we can see that the expressions are equal.

3(x + 2) + 2x -1 Distribute the 3

3x + 6 + 2x -1 Combine like terms

5x + 5

This equals the second expression.
