Simplify this expression... easy ALGEBRA?

Question

K, i need help simplifying this expression...

4x - (2-3x) + 5

what method do i use and how?

Answer 1

4x-(2-3x)+5
4x-2+3x+5
7x+3

Answer 2

4x - (2 - 3x) + 5

To simplify this equation, first take the parentheses out of the equation by using the distributive property. The distributive property states for any numbers a, b, and c:

a(b + c) = ab + ac

In your equation, there is no number in front of the parentheses, but there is a subtraction sign before them. Whenever you see a subtraction sign before the parentheses, then switch the addition and subtraction signs inside to the opposite sign and take away the parentheses:


4x - (2 - 3x) + 5

4x - 2 + 3x + 5 <=== signs switched

Now combine like terms:

7x - 2 + 5

Subtract 2 from 5:

7x - 3

This is your answer.

Hope this helped!

Answer 3

=4x-2+3x+5
=7x+3

Answer 4

so we have 4x -2 + 3x +5 (distributing the -1 to everybody in the parentheses)

Now combine like terms: (4x + 3x) + (-2 + 5)

so we have, 7x + 3, which is the final answer.

Answer 5

4x - (2-3x) + 5
4x -2 +3x +5 <-- remove parentheses
7x + 3 <-- Collect like terms

Answer 6

First get rid of the parenthese by multiplying by -1
4x -2+ 3x + 5
combine like terms
7x + 3

Answer 7

4x-2+3x+5 = 7x+3

-(x-y)= -x+y

Answer 8

4x-(2-3x)=5=7x+3

Answer 9

4x - (2 - 3x) + 5
4x - 2 + 3x + 5
7x + 3

Answer 10

4x - (2-3x) + 5 <--work the brakets first
4x - 2 + 3X + 5
7X+3 <---answer

Answer 11

4x - (2 - 3x) + 5
4x - 2 + 3x + 5
= 7x + 3
The code in algebra (well,one of them) is a minus and a minus become a plus, a plus and a plus become a plus, a plus and a minus become a plus and a minus and a plus become a minus.
