Okay. So, what we do first is do the distributive property by multiply each number in the parenthesis by 3. When we do that, we get (6x + 12), because 3 * 2x is 6x and 4 * 3 is 12. Now, the numbers written out in long form is 5 + 6x + 12 + 6. 6x is in simplified form, because there is nothing that we can combine it with, but we do need to combine the whole numbers. 5 + 12 is 17, and 17 + 6 is 23. The expression in simplified form is 6x + 23. The answer is B.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first one: w-8 =5
reverse it-  8+5= 13         so 13-8= 5
second one: 5x-2
2x-2+3x  << group together the x's
2x+3x=5x and you'll end up with 5x-2
last one: r/5=-9
again, reverse it-  -9 x 5 = -45
a negative times a positive = a negative
