Answer:

1) The simplified expression to the given expression is 3(2x+1)

Therefore 2(3x+4)-5=3(2x+1)

2) The simplified expression to the given expression is 3x-11

Therefore 4+5(x-3)-2x=3x-11

Explanation:

1) Given expression is 2(3x+4)-5

To find the value of the given expression :

2(3x+4)-5

Applying the distributive property

2(3x+4)-5=2(3x)+2(4)-5

=6x+8-5

=6x+3 ( adding the like terms )

=3(2x+1)

Therefore 2(3x+4)-5=3(2x+1)

2) Given expression is 4+5(x-3)-2x

To find the value of the given expression :

4+5(x-3)-2x

Applying the distributive property

4+5(x-3)-2x=4+5(x)+5(-3)-2x

=4+5x-15-2x

=3x-11 ( adding the like terms )

=3(2x+1)

Therefore 4+5(x-3)-2x=3x-11
