Question

How do I solve 5(1 − x) + 2(x + 3) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

11-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Multiply 5(1-x). To do this, you multiply 5 by both x and 1. You should get     5-5x.

1) Next, multiply 2(x+3). You should get 2x+6.

3) Finally, add like terms. Add 2x and -5x together and add 6 and 5 together. You should get -3x and 11.

The answer is 11-3x.
