Simplify fully 2x (x+1) - 3 (x-5)

2x² - x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do it use the distributive property. 2x times x = 2²

1. 2x (x+1) - 3 (x-5) (multiply 2x by x, 2x by 1)

2. 2x² + 2x - 3 (x-5) (multiply - 3 by x, - 3 by - 5)

3. 2x² + 2x - 3x + 15 (simplify all like numbers)

4. 2x² - x + 15

2x² - x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² + 2x - 3x + 15 ← collect like terms

= 2x² - x + 15
