Question

Simplify the expression: 2(3x – 5) + 4x - 7

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{10x - 17}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{ \: 2(3x - 5) + 4x - 7}$

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

$\mapsto{ \sf{6x - 10 + 4x - 7}}$

Add the like terms : 6x and 4x

Like terms are those which have the same base.

$\mapsto{ \sf{10x - 10 - 7}}$

$\underline{ \text{Remember!}} :$ The negative integers are always but added but posses the negative ( - ) sign.

$\mapsto{ \sf{10x - 17}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
