Q. Simplify to create an equivalent expression.6(5r−11)−(5−r)Choose 1 answer:(A) 30r−71(B) 31r−71(C) 29r−71(D) 31r−61
Distribute 6 to terms inside parentheses: Distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses (5r−11).Calculation: 6×5r−6×11= 30r−66
Distribute negative sign to terms inside parentheses: Distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses (5−r).Calculation: −1×5+1×r= −5+r
Combine results from Step 1 and Step 2: Combine the results from Step 1 and Step 2.Calculation: (30r−66)+(−5+r)= 30r−66−5+r
Combine like terms and constant terms: Combine like terms, which are the 'r' terms and the constant terms.Calculation: 30r+r−66−5= 31r−71
