B. 8b-2

C. 6b-5

D. No simplified answer

Your answer is A. 6b+5

Let's simplify step-by-step.

2 (a-3) + 4b - 2 (a-b - 3) + 5

Distribute:

= (2) (a) + (2) (-3) + 4b + (-2) (a) + (-2) (-b) + (-2) (-3) + 5

= 2a + - 6 + 4b + - 2a + 2b + 6 + 5

Combine Like Terms:

= 2a + - 6 + 4b + - 2a + 2b + 6 + 5

= (2a + - 2a) + (4b + 2b) + (-6 + 6 + 5)

= 6b + 5

Answer : = 6b+5
