Given the equation:
3x + 5 ( x - 2 )
Determine the equivalent expression.
Solution:
In order to determine the equivalent expression, we simply needed to distribute 5 to each value inside the parenthesis, and then we combine similar terms.
= 3x + 5 ( x - 2)
= 3x + 5x - 10
= 8x - 10
Final answer:
B.) 8x - 10
