Simplify: -(3x - 2)

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

-3x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just distribute the negative :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it pretty much means the samething as having it be -1(3x-2) meaning you would multiply everything in the () by -1 so 3x*-1 is -3x and -2*-1 is 2. so your answer is -3x+2. Hope that helps!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its either: 2 - 3x, -3x - 2, 3x - 2, or 2 + 3x

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

it can't be -3x-2 ,3x-2 and 2 + 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know i thought so but it didnt show up on the answers given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you though:)

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

-(3x-2) as kass9987 said is exactly like -1(3x-2) we have to multiply -1 * 3x = -3x and -1 * -2 =2 -ve * +ve is -ve -ve * -ve is +ve

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

so u'll get -3x +2 which can also be written as 2-3x
