anonymous · Answer

Is that an "X" or is that a multiplaction symbol where it says 3 x 4?

anonymous · Answer

I know it equals 7, but I need a step by step

anonymous · Answer

@Soniatonia can you answer my question please?

anonymous · Answer

um, i'll try

anonymous · Answer

I mean, I asked you if 3 x 4 is multiplication or if it's the letter "X".

anonymous · Answer

oh, it's multiplication

anonymous · Answer

Okay, first.. Simplify the following:

$$3 * 4 - 5 (3  *  4 - 5)$$

Then..

Multiply the 3 and 4 together inside the parenthese's..

$$3*4 = 12$$

Leaving us with 

$$3*4-5 (12-5)$$

Then subtract 5 from 12 inside the parenthese's..

$$12-5=7$$

Leaving us with 

$$3*4 -5 (7)$$
Know where to go from here?

3∗4−5(3∗4−5)

3*4=12

12-5(12-5)

12-5(7)
12-35
-23

Answer is -23
