To solve this expression, we will use the distributive property. We will distribute -3 to both terms inside the parentheses, which gives us:
-3 * 2x = -6x
-3 * 5 = -15
So the expression becomes: -6x - 15 + 27.
Combining like terms, we have:
-6x + 12
Therefore, -6x + 12 is the equivalent expression.
Which expression is equivalent to -3(2x+5)+27
-5x-8
-6x+12
-2x+12
-6x-8
