Question

solve -3(2x-4)+7=-6x+19

Answer 1

first distribute the -3

Answer 2

then start combining like terms

Answer 3

Yes, first simplify the equation

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{-3(2x~-~4)~+~7~=~-6x~+~19}\)

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{(2x\times-3~-4\times-3)~+~7~=~-6x~+~19}\)

\(\rm \color{#20bd23}{-6x~+12~+~7~=~-6x~+~19}\)

First add \(\rm \color{#20bd23}{12~ + ~7}\)
