Question

(4x-5)+2(3x+1)
Can you help me solve this plz for me

Answer 1

10x - 3

Explanation:

(4x - 5) + 2 * (3x + 1) = 4x - 5 + 6x + 2

4x - 5 + 6x + 2 = 10x - 3

Answer 2

10x - 3

Explanation:

First, distribute 2 to all terms within the second parenthesis:

2(3x + 1) = (2 * 3x) + (2 * 1) = 6x + 2

4x - 5 + 6x + 2

Combine like terms (terms with the same amount of variables).

4x + 6x + 2 - 5

(4x + 6x) + (2 - 5)

10x + (-3)

10x - 3

10x - 3 is your answer.
