Answer 3

i think its 10x-5 or 2x-1

Answer 4

7+4(2x-3)+2x
You apply the distributive property to 4(2x-3). So you do 4 times 2x which equals to 8x. Then you do 4 times (-3) which equals (-12). So re write the equation with the simplified answers.
7+8x-12+2x
Now you have 2 terms of "x's" so you can combine 8x and 2x.
7+10x-12
then you do 7+(-12) you get -5
FINAL ANSWER: 10X-5

Answer 5

That is correct.

Answer 6

I also found this on the internet:
7 + 4(2x - 3) + 2x

Multiply x and 2
Multiply x and 1


The x just gets copied along.

The answer is x

x

2*x evaluates to 2x

2*x-3 evaluates to 2x-3

Multiply 4 by 2x-3

we multiply 4 by each term in 2x-3 term by term.

This is the distributive property of multiplication.

Multiply 4 and 2x

Multiply 1 and x


The x just gets copied along.

x

4 × 2x = 8x

Multiply 4 and -3


1

4 × -3 = -12

4*(2*x-3) evaluates to 8x-12

7 + -12 = -5

The answer is -5+8x

7+4*(2*x-3) evaluates to -5+8x

Multiply x and 2

Multiply x and 1


The x just gets copied along.

The answer is x

x

2*x evaluates to 2x

8x + 2x = 10x

The answer is 10x-5

7+4*(2*x-3)+2*x evaluates to 10x-5


The final answer is
10x-5
