Answer:

The answer is A. 0.1x + 18.2

Explanation:

We have to simplify the expression

We will use distributive Property of Multiplication with respect to Addition and Subtraction

⇒3×(2.7 x +5) -2 ×(4 x -1.6)

=3×2.7 x +3×5-2×4 x-2×(-1.6)

=8.1 x +15 -8 x+3.2

=(8.1 x- 8 x)+15+3.2-----Adding and Subtracting like terms

= 0.1 x +18.2

Option A
