Question

4[6 − (1 + 2x) + 10] = 2(10 − 3x)
show step by step

Answer 1

I always enjoy using PEMDAS because it helps with multi-step equations like this.
P (parentheses) *Brackets always go first then parentheses
E (exponents)
M (multiplication)
D (division)
A (addition)
S (subtraction(

Answer 2

Oh, well in this situation parentheses since I think you switched them up, lol.

Anyways. You CAN start off with multiplication on the right side. 2(10-3x) becomes 20 - 6x. So that simplifies some of it.

Answer 3

4[6 − (1 + 2x) + 10]
Is it just a 1 there? No variable by it at all?

Answer 4

4[16-(1+2x)]=2(10-3x)
64-4(1+2x)=20-6x
64-4-8x=20-6x
60-20=8x-6x
40=2x
X=40/2
X=20
