Question

-(x+4)+2x+7

Answer 1

use pemdas and everything else is combining like terms

Answer 2

I know how to do this but I'm confused cause of the negative on the outside. This is my daughters homework lol

Answer 3

Distribute the negative sign to x and 4

-x -4 + 2x + 7

A good way to understand this is that there is an invisible 1 next to that negative sign, outside the parentheses, to the left.

-1(x+4)

It distributes and the -1 multiplies to x and 4

Thus getting -x - 4

Now we continue

Answer 4

Itʻs just PEMDAS

Parentheses (This is why we distributed first)
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Answer 5

Now we just move to like terms, as the other user said

Answer 6

-x -4 + 2x + 7

Rearrange the problem to help clear things up

-x + 2x -4 + 7

This change is to help clarify what weʻre doing. We will be adding the xʻs together, and adding the regular numbers together

Answer 7

-x + 2x = x

-4 + 7 = 3

x + 3 is your final answer

Answer 8
