my bad its supposed to be simplified
2007-05-05 16:45:22 · update #1

No more data?
What do you want us to do?
It does not equal to anything?
At least you can do the operations and simplify to the result below:
-2[3x-2(4-3x)+2] = -2(3x-8+6x+2) = -6x+16-12x-4 = -18x+12 = -3x+2

Multiply inside the brackets first 2(4-3x)
Then solve inside the brackets like numbers:
3x-8+6x+2
[9x-6]
Then multiply:
-2[9x-6]
-18x+12
=)

Do the inside () first.
-2[3x-8+6x+2]
collect like terms inside:
-2[9x-6]
distribute
-18x+12

Start with inside parentheses. -2 times 4= -8. -2 times -3x = 6x. This gives you -2[3x - 8+6x + 2]. Now combine what you can inside the [ ]. After that, remove the [ ] by multiplying everything by -2. Hope that helps!

yet differently of taking into consideration this - i became taught by my instructor once of imagining the = signal as a bridge, and also you've were given to get all the distinct 'gadgets' (as a effect similar variables which includes all 'x' jointly) onto both part of the bridge... yet each and every time they go THE BRIDGE, they 'substitute sides' - and so change into ITS opposite (or if its a function change into its 'anti'-function). So making use of this idea, at the starting up you would come to a decision to get each and each and every of the numbers (constants) on the right hand part and each and each and every of the 'x' words on the left. this can be finished in whichever order you want, see you later as you're making effective you word the mandatory regulations... 5x + 2 = 3x + 24 pass +2 to the RHS 5x = 3x + 24 - 2 pass 3x to the LHS 5x - 3x = 24 - 2 we've similar words amassed on both part, we may be able to simplify them by hassle-free addition and subtraction: (5 - 3)x = 24 - 2 2x = 22 Now there is in hassle-free words one time period of each and every sort on both part of the =, we may be able to ascertain what x is (it really is 1x) by transferring the *2 over, as 2x = 2*x = x*2. So replacing 2x with 2*x we get... x*2 = 22 transferring *2 over we get /2 (hassle-free Multiplications consistently substitute to Divisions) x = 22 / 2 x = 11 end : you've solved the equation!

-2[3x-2(4-3x)+2] distribute -2 (inside [ ])
-2[3x-8+6x+2] combine like terms
-2[9x-6] distribute -2
-18x+12

I'm guessing you want it to be simplified.
-2*4 +-2*-3x
3x-8+6x+2
-2(9x-6)
-18x+12

-2[3x-8+6x+2]
-6x+16-12x-4
-18x+12
I think it's like that, but it equals to what?? how to solve the x if there's no equation. hope that helps a bit.

-2[3x-8+6x+2]
-2(9x-6)
-18x+12
-18x=-12
x=12/18
x=2/3
