The answer you are looking for is -5.
Writing out the equation,
2(5x-4)-x-3(3x-1)
Using the Distributive Property for 2(5x-4) and -3(3x-1),
10x-8-x-9x+3
Using the Associative Property,
10x-x-9x-8+3
Simplifying the similar terms,
9x-9x-8+3
Canceling both "9x" terms, since 9x-9x is obviously 0,
0-8+3, or simply just -8+3.
-8+3=-5
So, therefore the final answer is -5.
I hope that this has helped you. Enjoy your day, and take care.
