Which expressions are equivalent to
\[5+(-3)(6x-5)\] ?
Choose all answers that apply:
Choose all answers that apply:
(Choice A)
\[18x-20\]
A
\[18x-20\]
(Choice B)
\[3x-3\]
B
\[3x-3\]
(Choice C) None of the above
C
None of the above
To simplify the expression, we can distribute the $(-3)$ to both terms inside the parentheses:
\[5+(-3)(6x-5) = 5 + (-18x + 15).\]
Now we can combine like terms by adding the constant terms:
\[5 + (-18x + 15) = 20 - 18x.\]
So the expression is equivalent to $20-18x$.
Since the expression $20-18x$ is not listed as a choice, the answer is $\boxed{\text{(C) None of the above}}$.
To simplify the expression \(5+(-3)(6x-5)\), we need to apply the distributive property by multiplying \(-3\) with each term inside the parentheses.
\[5 + (-3)(6x) + (-3)(-5)\]
Simplifying further:
\[5 + (-18x) + 15\]
Now, we can combine like terms:
\[20 - 18x\]
So, the expression \(5+(-3)(6x-5)\) is equivalent to \(\boxed{18x-20}\), which corresponds to Choice A.
