Question

For all values of x, which expression is equivalent to 6 + 5x − 4 − 3x?

Responses
A 1 + 2x1 + 2x
B 3 + 3x3 + 3x
C 3 + 2x3 + 2x
D 2 + 2x

Answer 1

(D ) 2x + 2

Explanation:

Simplify the expression

`6+5x-4-3x`

Let's make it addition so combining like terms is a bit easier

`5x+-3x+6+-4`

Now that the expression is nice and tidy, lets add like terms

`2x+2`

So the answer is D

Answer 2

D - 2 + 2x

Explanation:

To solve this expression, we simplify using like terms:

6 + 5x - 4 - 3x can be rewritten as 6 - 4 + 5x - 3x which when you simplify becomes 2 + 2x

Hope this helps
