Question

3(x-2)=-2(x-7) ?

Answer 1

If this is an equation that you are trying to solve,
first, you need to distribute the 3 on the left side,
and distribute the -2 on the right side.
Can you do that?

Answer 2

Hell no

Answer 3

You take the number outside the parentheses, and you multiply it by each number in parentheses.

Here is an example.

\(2(x - 4) = 2 \cdot x - 2 \cdot 4 = 2x - 8\)

Look at the example above, and see if you can do it to the left side of your equation.

Answer 4

3(x - 2) = -2(x - 7) -- to distribute and get rid of the parenthesis, you take the number before the parenthesis and multiply it with everything in the parenthesis.
3(x - 2) would be 3 * x - 3 * 2 = 3x - 6
-2(x - 7) would be -2 * x , -2 * -7....you do this one
