Question

5(x + 3) - (9x - 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf - 4x + 19}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{5(x + 3) - (9x - 4)}$

Distribute 5 through the parentheses

⇒$\sf{5x + 15 - (9x - 4)}$

When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression. Also, remove the parentheses

⇒$\sf{5x + 15 - 9x + 4}$

Collect like terms

⇒$\sf{5x - 9x + 15 + 4}$

⇒$\sf{ - 4x + 15 + 4}$

Add the numbers : 15 and 4

⇒$\sf{ - 4x + 19}$
