So what you want to do is follow the FOIL method. First, Outer, Inner, Last.
So first, 3 * x + 3 * 4, can you do that first?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
So what did you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3x+12
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
Right, so now we do the same for the other one,
2 * 5x + 2 * 2 Can you do that and tell me what you get?

bwahah so thats it right? no looking for whats x? cuz there is no = sign?
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
I suppose so..
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
She didn't say otherwise so I guess :b but if we did, we'd make it 13x + 16 = 0 and solve for x
