- (2x - 3) = 33 - 4x
Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the bracket.
Multiply the bracket by -1
-1(2x-3)= 33-4x
(-1)(2x)(-1)(-3)= 33-4x
-2x+3= 33-4x
Move -4x to the other side. Sign changes from -4x to +4x
-2x+4x+3= 33-4x+4x
-2x+4x+3= 33
2x+3= 33
Move +3 to the other side. Sign changes from +3 to -3.
2x+3-3= 33-3
2x= 30
divide by 2
2x/2= 30/2
x= 15
Answers: x= 15
