Question

Simplify the given expression to find its value if $x$ is $2$.$x+7+4(x-5)$

• A. $2$
• B. $4$
• C. $1$
• D. $-3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $-3$

From the question, it is given that $x=2$

We have,

$=x+7+4x-20$

$=5x+7-20$

Now, substitute the value of $x$ in the given equation.

$=(5\times 2)+7-20$

$=10+7-20$

$=17-20$

$=-3$
