Question

Choose an expression that is equivalent to the following.

6n + 2(3 - 5n)

A. n+6
B. 16n+6
C. 6-4n
D. 11n

Answer 1

6-4n (C.)

Explanation:

First you would do 2x3=6

2x-5n=-10n

6n+ -10n= -4n

6-4n

Answer 2

Answer: C. 6-4n

Explanation:

We will simplify the expression and see which one is equivalent.

Given:

6n + 2(3 - 5n)

Distribute:

6n + 6 - 10n

Subtract:

-4n + 6

This is the same as 6 - 4n, so our answer is C. 6-4n
