Question

20 points for brainliest answer do not guess.Which expression is equivalent to 2x + 3y - x - (8 + 1)
(a) 5x + 2y - 7
(b) 6 ( x + y) - 7
(c) x + 3y - 9
(d) 3 ( x + y ) - 9

Answer 1

The correct answer is 'C' 

If X = 2, and Y = 4: 

2(2) + 3(4) - 2 - (8 + 1) = 5
4 + 12 - 2 - 9 = 5
16 - 2 - 9 = 5
14 - 9 = 5
= 5

(2) + 3(4) - 9 = 5 
2 + 12 - 9 = 5 
14 - 9 = 5 
= 5 

So, your answer would be 'C' X + 3Y - 9
