multiply out and simplify 5(x+3)-3(x+2)
Simplify the following: 5 (x+3)-3 (x+2)
5 (x+3) = 5 x+15: 5 x+15-3 (x+2)
-3 (x+2) = -6-3 x: 5 x+-6-3 x+15
Grouping like terms, 5 x-3 x-6+15 = (5 x-3 x)+(15-6): (5 x-3 x)+(15-6)
5 x-3 x = 2 x: 2 x+(15-6)
15-6 = 9: Answer: | 2x + 9
5(x+3)-3(x+2)
= 5x+15-3x-6
= 2x+9
