try using PEMDAS
to simplify 4 • 7 – 4 • 10 what would you get? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-12
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
right :)
then what do you get from distributing out 4(x-10) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wouldn't -12 be x?

not quite
because you have 4(x-10) on the other side...
could you distribute out 4(x-10) ? :)

i didn't guess though i worked it out i put the numbers where x was to see if i got -12 so if i put 4(7-10) i get -12 so it was 7

my brain doesn't usually think that way :P
well, good job then
