Answer:
I think you meant to put an x instead of a r in that equations because 9x-15 is the correct answer so B
Explanation:
Step 1: combine any like terms you can this makes it
5(2x-3)-x
Step 2: distribute 5 to anything in parentheses
10x-15-x
Step 3:
Combine more like terms
9x-15
Step 4: see if there are any more terms you can combine if not it is simplified so the answer here is 9x-15
