Question

SIMPLIFY: 3X-5+23X-9

Answer 1

We follow the BODMAS rule here.

So, Multiplication first, and then addition and subtraction in this case.

So, 3x-5 is -15.

Then, the equation becomes -15+23x-9.

Again multiplication of 23x-9. The answer is -207.

The equation then becomes -15+(-207).

This goes to -15 - 207.

And then the final answer is - 222

Answer 2

Simplify: 3x – 5 + 23x – 9
