Simplify the following expression: (x 1)−(−2x−5) (1 point) Responses 3x−4 3 x minus 4 −x 6 negative x plus 6 −x−4 negative x minus 4 3x 6

Answer 1

To simplify the expression (x + 1) - (-2x - 5), we can distribute the negative sign in front of the parentheses:

(x + 1) + (2x + 5)

Now we can simplify by combining like terms:

x + 1 + 2x + 5

Next, we can combine the x terms:

3x + 1 + 5

Finally, we can simplify the constants:

3x + 6

Therefore, the simplified expression is 3x + 6.
