Answer:

A. -12

Step-by-step explanation:

First step.

Simplify the expression:

3(x - 4) + 2x - x²    use the distributive property a(b - c) = ab - ac

= 3x - 12 + 2x - x²     combine like terms

= -x² + (3x + 2x) - 12

= -x² + 5x - 12

Put x = 5 to the expression:

-5² + 5(5) - 12 = -25 + 25 - 12 = -12
