C. for the first part, i combined all like terms until it was in simplist form. for the second part i replaced x with 5 and solved the problem using 5 instead.
C. For the first one (part A) I distributed 3 and 2 to everything that was in the parentheses. Then I got 12x + 4 because you cant add them cause they don’t have like terms. For the second question (part B) I simply just replaced x with 5 and I solved the rest of the problem which got me to x = 64.
