You can use the fact that the value which is outside of the bracket and in multiplication will be distributed to all terms inside with addition or subtraction( this is by distributive property of multiplication over addition).
The expression which is equivalent to the given expression is given by:
Option A: 18x + 15
How to simplify an equation?
Solve the equation as much as you can so as the equation end up getting in simplest form.
Thus, we have:
[tex]5(4x + 3) = 2x\\
20x + 15 = 2x\\
20x -2x + 15 = 0\\
18x + 15 = 0[/tex]
Thus, option A: 18x + 5 is equivalent to the simplified expression(left side expression)
