3 - 9(3)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[3-7x+2x\] all you have to do is plug in 3 for x, meaning where ever there is a x, put a 3 there instead. \[3-7(3)+2(3)\] now just evaluate :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what's 9 x 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 7(3) not 9(3)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7x + 2x = 9x
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still wrong, it's -7x+2x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[3-7x+2x \implies 3-5x \implies 3-5(3)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you're right, my bad

\[3-7x+2x \implies 3-5x \implies 3-5(3)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we are multiplying 5 by 3, that is what the bracket means :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3-5 X 3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, that's what it means
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it is B?
