-5x + 6 x - 1 2x - 5 + 2x - 5

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Combine like terms: 5x + 6x + 2x = 13x. Then, combine the constants: -1 - 5 - 5 = -11. The expression simplifies to 13x - 11, which matches none of the given choices. However, if we assume a typo and the expression was meant to be 5x + 6x - 1 + 2x - 5 + 2x - 5, then it simplifies to 15x - 11, which still doesn't match. The closest match to the given choices is 6x + 5, assuming a different interpretation or typo in the problem statement.
