Question

Simplify 3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) A. 7x - 3 B.7x - 14 C.7x + 26

Answer 1

Answer:

7x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5)

3x + 6 + 4x - 20

7x - 14

Answer 2

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

$3 (x + 2) +4 (x-5)$

Applying distributive property to the terms within the parenthesis we have:

$3x + 6 + 4x-20 =$

Adding similar terms:

$3x + 4x + 6-20 =$

Finally we have that the expression is reduced to:

$7x-14$

Answer:

$7x-14$
