(6x-1)-(2x+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Expand the minus into the bracket, and then see if that helps?

OpenStudy (hba):

Can you expand it ? @GraceJaylene

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk :( its confusing to me

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

sad! :( :'(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, expand the minus into the right hand bracket and then you may remove the brackets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6x-1 -2x-3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you do 6x-2x first @ceb105

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It does not matter, but yes that is perfectly fine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x - -2 am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ceb105

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, you are almsot correct. look again at -1-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can look at it like so: take out the minus so that it looks more familiar. -(1+3)=-(4) see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was not aware that was an equation. The expression you wrote at the top didn't have an equals What was it equal to? was it 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My friend thinks it equals zero. Its subracting binomials and monomials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay if you take the question as (6x-1)-(2x+3)=0 then after simplifcation we found 4x-4=0 thus 4x=4
