Which of the following is the simplified version of 3(x+5)-6x=23
A. -3x+5=23
B. -3x+15=23
C. -15x+15=23
D. -9x+15=23
To simplify the equation 3(x+5)-6x=23, we first distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
3(x) + 3(5) - 6x = 23
This simplifies to:
3x + 15 - 6x = 23
Combine like terms to get:
-3x + 15 = 23
So, the simplified version of the equation is option A: -3x+15=23.
