Question

6x + 3 (2x) - 7 - 2³ Please include th steps to solving it.

Answer 1

12x - 15

Explanation:

so you would have to do the order of operations. so your exponent would be first. so 2×2×2=8.

6x + 3 (2x) -7 + 8

Now you can look at your parentacese which is (2x) so you need to do 3(2x) which gets you 6x.

6x + 6x -7 + 8

So you need to combine like terms.

so starting with the x

6x + 6x = 12x

Now your equation looks like this

12x + -7 +8

now you need to add like terms. (numbers)

-7 -8

so your answer is

12x -15

Answer 2

24x-15

Explanation:

Let's do this together with a step-by-step explanation!

First we need to make sure we remember that there are appropriate ways on how to solve these. LIKE PEMDAS.

6x + 3 (2x) - 7 - 2³

Let's multiply the 3 and 2x together.

6x + 6x - 7 - 2³

Now let's do the exponent

6x + 6x - 7 - 8

Now let's add everything together! But remember only common variables can be added together.

24x - 15 is the answer.

You can no longer break anything down.

I really hope this helped you!
