if this bothers you, review the distributive property and order of operations
−5 + 4(−2x+6)−3x
= -5 + 4(-2x) + 4(6) - 3x
= -5 - 8x + 24 - 3x
Now, since addition is commutative, that's
= -8x - 3x - 5 + 24
= -11x + 19
Identify the expression or expressions equivalent to −5 + 4(−2x+6)−3x−5 + 4(−2x + 6) −3x.
A. -8x+19-3x
B. 5x-29
C. -11x+19
D. -5x-19
I really need help with this.

Also, If you do not mind me asking are all Jiskha teachers on at any time?
we are just volunteers who drop by when we have time. There's no guarantee just who or where that will be. Sometimes you need to be patient.
Ok thank you.
