Question

Simplify each expression by distributing and combining like terms 6(x + 1) – 5(x + 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x - 9}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star \: \sf{6( x + 1) - 5(x + 2)}$

Distribute 6 through the parentheses

Similarly, distribute -5 through the parentheses

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{6x + 6 - 5x - 10}}$

Collect like terms

Like terms are those which have the same base

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{6x - 5x + 6 - 10}}$

$\dashrightarrow{ \sf{x + 6 - 10}}$

The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but posses the sign of the bigger integer

$\dashrightarrow{ \boxed{ \sf{x - 4}}}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

Answer 2

Answer:

x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x+1)-5(x+2)

=6x+6-5x-10

=x-4
