By some arrangement, you get #8x + 7#

#2x - (3-4x) + 2(x+5)#

#=2x - 3 + 4x + 2x +10#

#=2x + 4x + 2x -3 + 10#

#=8x + 7#

Your answer is #8x + 7#

#8x+7#

#2x−(3−4x)+2(x+5)#

Distribute parentheses

#-(3)-(-4x)= -3+4#

So

#2x-3+4x+2(x+5)#

Distribute parentheses again

#2*x+2*5 =2x+10#

So

#2x-3+4x+2x+10#

Simplify

#8x+7 #
