Question

what would the followign equation simplify to:

x - ( x - 1 - [ x - 2 - ( x - 3)})

Answer 1

solve the square brackets first. [x-2-x+3] = -1 then the inner brackets x-1-(-1) = x-1+1 = x ; then x-x = 0;

Answer 2

so, as you solve for each inner brackets, you can remove them?

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

x - ( x - 1 - [ x - 2 - ( x - 3)})
x - ( x - 1 - [ x - 2 - x + 3)})
x - ( x - 1 - [ x - x +1)})
x - ( x - 1 - 1)
x - ( x - 2)
x - x + 2
