Answer:
The simplified form of the provided expression is [tex]11-6x[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided expression.
[tex] 3(x+2)-9x+5[/tex]
Use the distributive property:
[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
By using the above property we can simplify it as shown:
[tex] 3x+6-9x+5[/tex]
Add and subtract the like terms.
[tex] 3x-9x+6+5[/tex]
[tex]11-6x[/tex]
Thus, the simplified form of the provided expression is [tex]11-6x[/tex].
