Well, the part where it has the negative sign at, it's a lil confusing.

pooja195 · Answer

You would distribute the negative and treat it as "-1"

torialaw192 · Answer

Oh. So it will be 7-9-[1](x+12) like that if I included the one??

pooja195 · Answer

Yes

torialaw192 · Answer

7-9-[1](x+12) will then be 7-9+x-12, correct?

pooja195 · Answer
