Expand to get -3x - 24 + 5x -35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"expand" ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remove the brackets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@padfoot22 I honestly don't know where you get that. I personally would start by combining like variables (ex. : the X's could combine)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the same as well.
