Question

Simplify: 3x - 5 + 23x - 9

A: 2 (13x - 7)
B: 3x (13x - 6)
C: 2 (14x - 6)
D: 3x (13x - 5)

Answer 1

The simplified form of 3 x-5+23 x-9 is $\bold{2(13x-7)}$

Given:

$3 x-5+23 x-9$

To find:

The simplified form of $3 x-5+23 x-9$

Solution:

The Given equation is

$3 x-5+23 x-9$

From the above equation, add the x terms separately and constant terms separately,

$=3 x+23 x-5-9$

Now, the equation becomes,

$=26 x-14$

Now, take 2 as the common term, then the equation becomes,

$=2(13 x-7)$

Hence, The simplified form of $3 x-5+23 x-9$ is (optionA): $2(13 x-7)$

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (A) is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given \: expression \: 3x-5+23x-9 \\=$

\* Write like terms at one place,we get

$3x+23x-5-9\\=(3+23)x-(5+9)\\=26x-14\\=2(13x-7)$

Therefore,

$Simplification \: of \: 3x-5+23x-9\\=2(13x-7)$
