How do you evaluate #6[ x - ( x - 3x ) + 1] = 4x - 6#?
1 Answer
Explanation:
start by looking combining like terms in the inside parentheses.
we can remove the parentheses because there's only one number inside them. also, subtracting a negative number is the same as adding. so we can rewrite the equation as:
now, we can combine like terms inside those parentheses
then distribute the 6 by multiplying each term inside the parentheses by 6
subtract 4x from both sides of the equation to get all the x's on the same side, and combine like terms
subtract 6 from both sides to get the x's alone
divide by 14 to get x alone
