Answer:
[tex]3x+5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify using the distributive property:
[tex]2*(2.5x)+2*(2)-(2x-1)\\\\5x+4-(2x-1)[/tex]
Simplify parentheses using the distributive property (the negative sign can be seen as -1):
[tex]5x+4-1*(2x)-1*(-1)\\\\5x+4-2x+1[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex](5x-2x)+(4+1)\\\\3x+5[/tex]
This cannot be simplified further.
:Done
