yuhhhhhh

itsmehjay:

Alrighty! So first things first we need to distribute the 3 and the 2 to every term inside the parenthesis

so 3 plus 2

itsmehjay:

No, if were distributing, were multiplying the number outside the parenthesis to every term inside it

itsmehjay:

So the equation says 3(2x-2) Your going to be multiplying 3 to 2x and -2

itsmehjay:

So same thing with 2(x+3) Multiply 2 by x and 3

itsmehjay:

So what would you get for the first set?

itsmehjay:

You should've gotten 6x-6=2x+6 Now try solving for x
