Question
First, we can drop the first set of
parentheses but need to distribute
the negative sign to the second set
of parentheses.
x/5 1(2x 3) = 6
1 5- 1(2) + (-1)(-3) = 6
e +5 - 2x + 3 6
There are two sets of like terms,
the x and-2x, and 5 and 3. So
we need to get those terms
together.
Subtracting 8 from both sides
gives us
And finally, multiplying both sides
by -1 gives us:
