So it's not an equation...an equation has an equals sign.  This is an expression and you are to simplify it?

anonymous · Answer

oh okay. so Would I have to isolate the x first??

wow I looked at this for a long time is it multiple choice? anyways no mater what you have to figure out what x is so maybe you would have to guess...I know not much help. when I first looked at this question I did 3 x 3= I don't know why but I assumed it was three and maybe it is but seriously I'm kind of lost. good luck and im sorry I couldn't help maybe I could help next time.
