Solve the "x" variable in the equation.
4 - x = 2 - (3 - 2x)
First: eliminate parenthesis - Distribute the negative sign with the inner terms.
4 - x = 2 - (3) - (- 2x)
4 - x = 2 - 3 + 2x
4 - x = - 1 + 2x
Sec: combine "like" terms - subtract 2x from both sides (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).
4 - x - 2x = - 1 + 2x - 2x
4 - x - 2x = - 1
4 - 3x = - 1
*Subtract 4 from both sides.
4 - 4 - 3x = - 1 - 4
- 3x = - 1 - 4
- 3x = - 5
Third: divide both sides by (-3).
- 3x/-3 = - 5/-3
x = 5/3

4-x=2-(3-2x)
=> 4-x=2-3+2x
=> 2x+x=4-2+3
=> 3x=5
=> x=5/3

4-x=2-(3-2x)
4 - x = 2 -3 + 2x
-x - 2x = -1 -4
-3x = -5
x = 5/3
Solution: {x belongs to R| x = 5/3}

a) 4-x=2-(3-2x)
b) 4-2 = x-(3-2x) = 2
c) 2 = x-3+2x
d) 2+3 = x+2x = 5
e) 5 = x+2x
f) 5 = 3x
g) x = 5/3

4-x = 2-(3-2x)
+(3-2x)
4-x + (3-2x) = 2
-4
-x + (3-2x) = -2
-3x + 3 = -2
-3
-3x = -5
/-3
x = -5/-3 = 5/3

4-x=2-(3-2x) shud der be a minus in front of the 1st 2?
4-x=6-4x
-x+4x=6-4
3x=2
x=2/3

4-x=2-3+2x
4-x+x=-1+2x+x
4=-1+3x
4+1=-1+1+3x
5=3x
5/3=3x/3
5/3=x
