A. -4x + 44
B. -16x + 44
C. 16x - 44
D. -4x + 29

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 19 + 6x - 10x + 5^2 \), we follow these steps:

  1. Start with the original expression: \[ 19 + 6x - 10x + 5^2 \]

  2. Calculate \( 5^2 \): \[ 5^2 = 25 \]

    So now the expression becomes: \[ 19 + 6x - 10x + 25 \]

  3. Combine like terms. First, combine the constants \( 19 + 25 \): \[ 19 + 25 = 44 \]

  4. Now combine the \( 6x \) and \( -10x \): \[ 6x - 10x = -4x \]

  5. Putting it all together, we have: \[ -4x + 44 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{-4x + 44} \]

The correct answer is A. -4x + 44.
