Answer 1

To simplify the expression 3 - (4x - 5) + 6, we can start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:

-(4x - 5) = -4x + 5

Now we can substitute this simplified expression back into the original expression:

3 - (4x - 5) + 6 = 3 - 4x + 5 + 6

Next, we can combine like terms:

3 - 4x + 5 + 6 = (3 + 5 + 6) - 4x

Simplifying further:

(3 + 5 + 6) - 4x = 14 - 4x

Therefore, the simplified expression is 14 - 4x.
