Question

Simplify each expression -2(2x - 5) + 5x + 6
And
x - 5(y + 2) + (3y - x)

Answer 1

-2(2x-5)+5x+6 Original problem - first we distribute
-4x+10+5x+6 Next we combine like terms
1x+16 Here is your answer :) (x+16 is considered the same answer)


x-5(y+2)+(3y-x) Again we distribute
x-5y-10+3y-x Again we combine like terms
-2y-10 Here is your answer :)
