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
