Question

Which of the following is equivalent to the algebraic expression 3( X - 3) + 2 ( 3- X)

A) x + 3
B)-6x squared - 54
C) x - 3
D)6x squared + 3

Answer 1

Let's simplify the given expression:

3(X-3) + 2(3-X) = 3X - 9 + 6 - 2X (distributing the coefficients)

= X - 3 (combining like terms)

Therefore, the equivalent algebraic expression is option C) X-3.
