Select all e x p r e a s i o n s that are equivalent to 7x + 2(2x - 5) - (-5x + 3)
A. 16x - 13

B.11x - 5 -3 - 5x

C. 6x - 13

D. 11x - 10 + 3 - 5x

E. 11x - 10 + 5x - 3

Answer 1

We need to simplify the expression 7x + 2(2x - 5) - (-5x + 3):

7x + 2(2x - 5) - (-5x + 3)
= 7x + 4x - 10 + 5x - 3
= 16x - 13

So the equivalent expressions are:

A. 16x - 13
