Select the correct answer.

Which is the simplified form of the expression [tex]3\left(\frac{7}{5} x+4\right)-2\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{5}{4} x\right)[/tex]?

A. [tex]-\frac{39}{5} x-\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

B. [tex]\frac{67}{10} x+9[/tex]

C. [tex]\frac{3}{10} x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

D. [tex]15+\frac{76}{10} x[/tex]



Answer :

To determine the simplified form of the expression [tex]\(3\left(\frac{7}{5} x+4\right)-2\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{5}{4} x\right)\)[/tex], we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute the constants through each of the terms inside the parentheses.

[tex]\[ 3\left(\frac{7}{5} x + 4\right) \Rightarrow 3 \cdot \frac{7}{5} x + 3 \cdot 4 = \frac{21}{5} x + 12 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ -2\left(\frac{3}{2} - \frac{5}{4} x\right) \Rightarrow -2 \cdot \frac{3}{2} + [-2 \cdot (-\frac{5}{4} x)] = -3 + \frac{10}{4} x = -3 + \frac{5}{2} x \][/tex]

2. Combine the two simplified parts:

[tex]\[ \frac{21}{5} x + 12 - 3 + \frac{5}{2} x \][/tex]

3. Add/Subtract the constants separately:

[tex]\[ 12 - 3 = 9 \][/tex]

4. Combine the x terms:

To combine [tex]\(\frac{21}{5} x + \frac{5}{2} x\)[/tex], we need a common denominator. The common denominator for 5 and 2 is 10.

[tex]\[ \frac{21}{5} x = \frac{42}{10} x \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{5}{2} x = \frac{25}{10} x \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \frac{42}{10} x + \frac{25}{10} x = \frac{67}{10} x \][/tex]

So, the expression simplifies to:

[tex]\[ \frac{67}{10} x + 9 \][/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{\frac{67}{10} x + 9} \][/tex]

Upon review of the given options, we find that option B matches the simplified expression:

Option B: [tex]\(\frac{67}{10} x + 9\)[/tex]

So, the correct choice is:

B. [tex]\(\frac{67}{10} x+9\)[/tex]
