Which expression is equivalent to 17x+10−3(2x+1) ?(1 point)Responses11x+711 x plus 723x−723 x minus 711x−911 x minus 923x−9

Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression \( 17x + 10 - 3(2x + 1) \):

1. Distribute \( -3 \) across \( (2x + 1) \): \[ -3(2x + 1) = -6x - 3 \]

2. Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ 17x + 10 - 6x - 3 \]

3. Combine like terms:

   • Combine the \( x \) terms: \( 17x - 6x = 11x \)
   • Combine the constant terms: \( 10 - 3 = 7 \)

Putting it all together, we have: \[ 11x + 7 \]

So, the equivalent expression is \( \boxed{11x + 7} \).
