Questionb) Simplify $3(x+5)-x+3$ $2 x+18$ Answ

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given an expression $3(x+5)-x+3$ and need to simplify it.
2. The expression $2x + 18$ is provided separately, and it seems to be a separate expression or a potential answer to compare with.
3. We need to ensure that the simplified form of the first expression is correct and potentially compare it to the second expression.

STEP 2

1. Distribute and combine like terms in the expression $3(x+5)-x+3$ .
2. Compare the simplified expression to $2x + 18$ .

STEP 3

Distribute the $3$ in the expression $3(x+5)$ :
$3(x+5) = 3x + 15$
Now the expression becomes:
$3x + 15 - x + 3$

STEP 4

Combine like terms:
Combine the $x$ terms: $3x - x = 2x$
Combine the constant terms: $15 + 3 = 18$
The expression simplifies to:
$2x + 18$

STEP 5

Compare the simplified expression $2x + 18$ with the provided expression $2x + 18$ .
Since they are identical, the simplification is correct.
The simplified expression is:
$\boxed{2x + 18}$
