Question

choose the equivalent expression -2(2x-5)+3(4-3x)

Answer 1

No,
the answer choices are:
a. -4x+10+12-9x
b. -4x-5+12-3x
c. -4x-10+12-9x
d. 4x+10+12+9x

Answer 2

-8x + 13

Answer 3

To find the equivalent expression, we need to distribute the coefficients before the parentheses and then combine like terms.

Starting with the given expression: -2(2x-5)+3(4-3x)

Expand the multiplication:
-2 * 2x = -4x
-2 * -5 = 10
3 * 4 = 12
3 * -3x = -9x

Now combine like terms:
-4x + 10 + 12 - 9x

Therefore, the equivalent expression is: -4x + 10 + 12 - 9x

The correct choice from the options is:
a. -4x + 10 + 12 - 9x
