Question

simplify -3(4u-w)+(2w-3u)

Answer 1

okay, so first thing's first... let's break it down piece by piece.


so we have this:

-3(4u-w)

can you distribute that? :)

Answer 2

-12u+-3w ?

Answer 3

Close, but not quite... when you distribute you end up with either a positive or a negative

Answer 4

yes very close

-12u +3w

because two negatives make a positive!

so now you have -12u + 3w + 2w - 3u

can you combine like terms now? :)

and sorry for coming back late... OS didn't alert me... tag me too just in case !
