To simplify the expression \( 23 - 9(2x + 5) + 11x \) using the Distributive Property of Multiplication Over Addition, we should first distribute the \(-9\) across the terms inside the parentheses:
1. Distribute \(-9\) to both \(2x\) and \(5\):
\[
-9(2x) - 9(5) = -18x - 45
\]
2. Now substitute this result back into the original expression:
\[
23 - 18x - 45 + 11x
\]
3. Combine like terms:
\[
23 - 45 = -22 \quad \text{and} \quad -18x + 11x = -7x
\]
So, we have:
\[
-22 - 7x
\]
Thus, the correct simplification using the Distributive Property is:
\[
23 - 18x - 45 + 11x
\]
The answer \(23 - 18x - 45 + 11x\) applies the Distributive Property correctly. The other responses do not correspond to this correct simplification.
