Hello
To expand this, we will multiply the value outside the bracket with the one inside the bracket.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(2x+1)-3(4x-5) \\ 4x+2-12x+15 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ -8x+17 \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer to this question is -8x +17
value outside the bracket with the one inside the bracket.
