The only correct option is A.
<h2>Expression </h2>In mathematics, an expression is defined as a set of numbers, variables, and mathematical operations that are formed according to rules which are dependent on the context.
<h2>Given to us</h2>Desired expression 3x-5
a.) 2x – 4 – 1 + x
Solving further
As we can see on solving further the expression became equivalent to the desired expression.
b.) –x + x + x – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1
Solving further
As we can see even on solving further the expression will not be equivalent to the desired expression.
c.) –5 – 3x
The expression was already solved and even when we rearranged the expression, the expression is not equivalent to the desired expression.
d.) 3x + 5
The expression is not equivalent to the desired expression as we can see that the value of 5 is not negative.
