Answer:

Distribute

When you have an equation like this, distribute first and then add or subtract like terms to solve for x.

Hope this helps!!

Well, you need to find out what x is equal to, if anything.

The first step to completing it, from what I've learned, is to do the problem that is in parenthesis first.

Hope this helps, sorry if not-
