Answer:
2 - (3x – 4) = 2x – 9
Explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2−(3x−4)=2x−9
2+−1(3x−4)=2x−9(Distribute the Negative Sign)
2+−1(3x)+(−1)(−4)=2x−9
2+−3x+4=2x−9
2+−3x+4=2x+−9
(−3x)+(2+4)=2x−9(Combine Like Terms)
−3x+6=2x−9
−3x+6=2x−9
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.
−3x+6−2x=2x−9−2x
−5x+6=−9
Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.
−5x+6−6=−9−6
−5x=−15
Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.
−5x
−5
= −15
