Answer:
2x*-3x-5
* = squared
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: distribute “x” to “2x+1”
-you now have the equation: 2x*+1x-4x-5
step 2: combine like terms (combine “1x” and “-4x”. that gets you “-3x”.)
-you now have the equation: 2x*-3x-5
step 3: you have no more like terms, your equation is solved.
final equation: 2x*-3x-5
