Which of the following is the simplified version of 3(x+5)-6x=23

Question

A. -3x+5=23

B. -3x+15=23

C. -15x+15=23

D. -9x+15=23

Answer 1

To simplify the equation 3(x+5)-6x=23, we first distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

3(x) + 3(5) - 6x = 23

This simplifies to:

3x + 15 - 6x = 23

Combine like terms to get:

-3x + 15 = 23

So, the simplified version of the equation is option A: -3x+15=23.
