Question

(3× -5) + (23× -9) = ?

Answer 1

Answer:

(3x -5)  +   (23x -9)  =  26x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x - 5)   +  (23x  - 9)

First, we will start by opening the bracket

3x - 5 + 23x -9

The next thing to do is to re-arrange the equation

3x + 23x  -9  -5

Then next is to add the x variables separately and the constant separately

26x  - 15

We will now check if we can factorize

Taking a look at it, it cannot be factorize, so we will leave it the way it is, that will be our final answer.

Therefore   (3x -5)  +   (23x -9)  =  26x - 15

Answer 2

Answer:

-222

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the ones in the parentheses first.

3 × -5 = -15

23 × -9 = -207

(3 × -5) + (23 × -9)

-15 + (-207)

-15 - 207

-222
