The answer is option B. In the distributive property you need to multiply the constant that is outside of the parenthesis, with the terms that are inside :)
Answer: -2x + 9
First, Use the distributive property: 3(x+3)-5x (3 multiplied by x is 3x and 3 multiplied by 3 is 9
Next, subtract the variable x: 3x+9-5x (3x-5x=-2x
The answer is -2x+9
If you solve for x you get:
x=(<span><span><span>5/2)</span>y</span>+<span>10
</span></span>
If you solve for y you get:
y=(<span><span><span>2/5)</span>x</span>−<span>4</span></span>
A is the mid point ==> AL = AB = 2AB
6x-17=2(2x+3) => 6x -17 = 4x +6 => 2x = 23 =>x=23/2
then just plug x into LB and AB
