@Compassionate, @some_someone

Answer 1

I'm eating right now so you may not get a response or it'll be slow.

Answer 2

Wait about 10 minutes. Okay? If no one has helped you by then, then I will.

Answer 3

@some_someone , help her while I'm eating.

That's an order.

Answer 4

Answer 5

You should have 3x-12, not 3x+12

Answer 6

\[4x-1=(3x-12)-(5-2x+16) \]

Answer 7

okay . let me where that happens... 3x-(-x+1)=[3(x+6-10]-[5-2(x-8)]
3x+x-1=3x+18-30]-[3(x-8)]

Answer 8

4x-1=[3x-12]-[3x-24]...okay I see it cool thanks!

Answer 9

Do you now see how to solve it? If not I can show that too

Answer 10

that would be so awesome and great.i can never get past [ ] things and doing these same problems but with fractions

Answer 11

\[4x-1=5x-17-16\]

Answer 12

\[4x-1=5x-33\]

Answer 13

\[4x+32=5x\]

Answer 14

\[32=x\]

Answer 15

how did you get 5x-17-16??

Answer 16

\[(3x-12)-(5-2x+16)\]

Answer 17

\[3x-12-5+2x-16\]

Answer 18

okay.got it
