Answer explanation

To simplify, distribute 3 to both terms inside the parentheses: 3x - 12. Then, combine like terms with the 2x term to get 5x - 12.

Match the following expressions to the correct simplified response.

• 100 + 30x

• 1/2(-b + 4)

• 8a - 8

• (n - 5)2

• 2n - 10

• -3(3x - 6)

• -9x + 18

• 0.5(16a - 16)

• -1/2b + 2

• -10(-10 - 3x)
