Question

Which expression is equivalent to `-3\left(2x+5\right)\ +\ 27\ ?`

Answer 1

Distributing the -3 to each term inside the parentheses, we have -3(2x) + (-3)(5) + 27. This simplifies to -6x - 15 + 27. Finally, combining like terms, the expression is equivalent to -6x + 12. Answer: \boxed{-6x + 12}.
