Question

2x -(3x + 1) + 2x =5 Broken down?

Then we reorder the question slightly \[2x+2x-3x-1 = 5\] How many x do we have?

Answer 8

3

Answer 9

Are you sure?

Answer 10

well after you add the 2x + 2x you get 4x - 3x so there would be 2 x's amd then it would just end up being "x" correct??

Answer 11

Yes, so now you have \[x-1=5\] Do yo know how to solve it now?

Answer 12
