In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2 (x + 3) + 5 x = 3 (2 x minus 1), Jaleesa begins by applying the distributiv

e property, then combines like terms. Which equation is the result of these steps?
7 x + 6 = 6 x minus 3
2 x + 6 + 5 x = 6 x minus 3
2 x + 3 + 5 x = 6 x minus 1
7 x + 3 = 6 x minus 1

Answer: 7 x + 6 = 6 x minus 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x + 3) + 5 x = 3 (2 x minus 1)
Now you distribute.
2(x) + 2(3) = 2x+6
And 3(2x) minus 3(1) = 6x minus 3
2x+6+5x = 6x minus 3
Then combine like terms
2x +5x=7x and there are no other like terms on either side of the equation.
7x+6= 6x minus 3
