Question

In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2(x+3)+ 5x = 3(2x-1), Jaleesa begins by applying the distributive property,

then combines like terms. Which equation is the result of these steps?
7X+6 - 6x-3
O 2x+6+ 5x -x-3
O 2x+3+5X = 6x-1
7x+3 - 6x-1

Answer 1

The Answer would be 7x+6 = 6x-3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 7x+6 = 6x-3

Step-by-step explanation: Lets begin by applying the distributive property and then combining like terms to see what the result of these steps will look like.

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

Apply the distributive property: 2 x X = 2x and 2 x 3 = 6 and 3 x 2x = 6x and 3 x -1 = -3

2x+6+5x = 6x-3

Combine Like Terms: 2x + 5x = 7x

7x+6 = 6x-3
