Question

Which expression is equivalent to (6 – 3x) + 9x ? 1 A. 8x + 2 B. 8x + 3 C. 10x-2 D. 10x - 6

Answer 1

Given to solve the expression:

`(1)/(3)(6-3x)+9x`

step 1: Expand the bracket by multiplying each term by the factor outside

`\begin{gathered} ((1)/(3)*6)-((1)/(3)*3x)+9x \\ 2-x+9x \end{gathered}`

step 2: Simplify the expression obtained in step 1

`\begin{gathered} 2-x+9x\text{ } \\ =2+8x \\ =8x+2 \\ \\ \text{The answer is \lbrack{}Option }A\rbrack \end{gathered}`
