ANSWER

9x + 5

Step-by-step explanation

We want to distribute and simplify:

5(3x + 1) - 6x

To distribute, we have to use the number outside the bracket to multiply each of the terms in the bracket.

So, we have:

(5*3x) + (5*1) - 6x

15x + 5 - 6x

Now, simplify by collecting like terms:

15x - 6x + 5

9x + 5

That is the answer.
