Answer:

4x - 2

Explanation:

Simplify the expression:


-2x+3-(5-6x)

First, we must remove the parentheses. The minus sign before them indicates we must apply the distributive property of multiplication, multiplying all the internal terms by -1:


-2x+3-5+6x

Once the expression is free from parentheses, we collect like terms. There are two pairs of like terms: the terms with x, and the terms with only numbers.

Rearrange the expression:


-2x+6x+3-5

Operating: -2+6=4, and 3-5=-2

The simplified expression is:

4x - 2
