Answer:
18x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
First, deal with the first part of the question:
5(4x+3)
We multiply the outside of the brackets with the inside. So, we do
5 x 4x = 20x
and 5 x 3 = 15
then put them together:
20x+15
Now, the second part:
- 2x
We cannot simplify this further so we put the two parts together:
20x + 15 - 2x
Collect like terms (20x - 2x) =
18x + 15
I hope this helped. If you have any further questions, do ask.
