expand and fully simplify 2(3x+1)-5(3x+1)
You asked:
Simplify the expression: \(2 \left(3 x + 1\right) - 5 \left(3 x + 1\right)\)
MathBot Answer:
Simplified:
\[ 2 \left(3 x + 1\right) - 5 \left(3 x + 1\right) = - 9 x - 3 \]
$$\begin{aligned}2 \cdot \left(3 x + 1\right) - 5 \cdot \left(3 x + 1\right)\\2 \cdot \left(3 x + 1\right) - 15 x + 5\\6 x + 2 - 15 x + 5\\- 15 x - 5 + 6 x + 2\\- 9 x - 3\end{aligned}$$
