Question

5x-3-(2-3x)
please help and show work?? Thank you!

Answer 1

hey... isnt this basic algebra

Answer 2

...maybe xD
but idk the first step!!

Answer 3

expand the brackets. first

Answer 4

think of it as 5x-3-1*(2-3x)

Answer 5

so 5x-2(2-3x)
then distribute 2 times 2 and 2 times -3x ?

Answer 6

so.
5x-3-(2-3x)
=5x-3-1(2-3x)
=5x-3+(-1*2+-1*-3x)
=5x-3+(-2+3x)
=5x-3-2+3x
=8x-5

Answer 7

\[5x-3-(2-3x)\]distribute the minus sign
\[=5x-3-2+3x\]
like terms are \(5x\) and \(3x\) which add up to \(8x\)
also \(-3-2=-5\)
you get \(8x-5\)
