i dont understand how to simplify 2-(3x-8)?

Question

this is what I got. 2-(3x-8)= 2-(3x+-8)
= 2+(-3x+ -8)
= -x +-6

Answer 1

That is in it's simplest form already.

Answer 2

You must be more specific in the form.

2-(3x-8) Can be written perfectly the same as 2-3x-8 which is
-6-3x
But because you say simplify I imagine you really mean

2 * -1(3x-8) (I put the one there for emphasis that it is really a number too)

Remember to distribute the -1

so 2 * -1(3x-8)
becomes 2 * (-3x+8)
and then -6x+16

And that's how you simplify

Answer 3

10=10

Answer 4

2-(3x-8)
2-3x+8
-3x+10=0
-3x+10-10= -10
-3x/-3 = -10/-3
x= 3 1/3

Answer 5

2 - (3x - 8)
=2 - 3x + 8
=10 -3x

Answer 6

can i ask how old r u?
nyways to simplyfy the question remember if there is a negative sign outside d bracket then change the sign of each and every entity in the bracket and that -ve by +ve
now simply add the terms.
while adding add the x terms separetely and constant terms seperately. how?
we hav
2-(3x-8)
=2+(-3x+8)
=10-3x

try to solve
2x-((2+4x)-(5x+2))
ans:3x

Answer 7

2-(3x-8)

= 2 - 3x + 8

= (10 - 3x)

Answer 8

2-(3x-8)=
=2-3x+8=
=10-3x

Answer 9

2-(3x-8) = 2 + [-3x-(-8)] = 2 - 3x + 8 = 10 -3x

Answer 10

I do not understand +-
2-(3x-8)
=2-3x+8
3x=2+8
3x=10
x = 10/3

Answer 11

First expand the brackets seperately -8(x^2-5x+7) = -8*x^2 -8*-5x -8*7 = -8x^2 + 40x -56 5(2x-5)(3x-7) = 5(2x*3x+2x*-7-5*3x-5*-7) = 5(6x^2-14x-5x+35) = 5(6x^2-29x+35) = 30x^2-145x+175 Add the two solutions together -8x^2+40x-56+30x^2-145x+175 = 22x^2 - 105x - 119
