Answer 1

1. C
2. A

Answer 2

on the first one, you simplify them and you'll get -5x+15+2a-18. subtract +15and -18 and you'll get -3. so the answer will be -5x+2a-3 it's C! :3

Answer 3

and on the second part, you do the same thing and you'll get -4x-5y+18b-26. Even though it looks a bit more harder, but the solving method it's kind of the same as the first one. oh, it's A by the way. Good luck, hope this helps.
