Simplify
-7+2(x-3)
A:x-10
B:x-13
C:2x-10
D:2x-13

Answer 1

distribute the 2 and combine like terms

Answer 2

-7(2x-3)?

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

You have to multiply 2(x-3) first so take 2 times x then 2 times -3

Answer 5

So you'll get -7 + 2x - 6

Answer 6

ok so -7+(2x-6)?

Answer 7

Just remove the prenthesis

Answer 8

-7+2x-6

Answer 9

Yes, now you take -7 and add it to -6 which will get you 2x - 13 which will be D. If a number is outside a parenthesis like 3(x + 4) you multiply the inside by the outside number.
