Question

Simplify the given equation.

5x+ 2(x-3) = -2(x - 1)
0 7 x-6=-2 X-2
0 7 x - 6 = -2 x + 2
0 7 X - 3 = -2 x-1

i’m sorry:/

Answer 1

Firstly, we can distribute both sides, this gives us 5x + 2x - 6 = -2x + 2. Next, we can combine our like terms. 7x - 6 = -2x + 2. The second option, B, is our answer.

Answer 2

7x - 6 = -2x + 2

Explanation:

Hi! First we are going to distribute our "2" and "-2" values to the values in parenthesis.

5x + 2x - 6 = -2x + 2

Now, we can combine our like terms, "5x" and "2x".

7x - 6 = -2x + 2

Since our problem's answers are left in this form, not completely combined our answer is 7x - 6 = -2x + 2.

Hope this Helps! :)
