Question

Simplify: 8x + 3 (x + 5) – 5 (x- 4) A 6x + 35 B 6x + 1 C 6x 62 - 5 D 43x

Answer 1

The given expression is

`8x+3(x+5)-5(x-4)`

First, we use the distributive property

`8x+3x+15-5x+20`

Then, we reduce like terms. 8x, 3x, and -5x are like terms. 15 and 20 are like terms.

`6x+35`

Hence, the answer is 6x + 35.
