Question

simplify and evaluate 2(3x-1)+6(-2x+2)if x =3​

Answer 1

3 + 2[4x – (4 + 3x)] = –1

3 + 2[4x – 1(4 + 3x)] = –1

3 + 2[4x – 1(4) – 1(3x)] = –1

3 + 2[4x – 4 – 3x] = –1

3 + 2[1x – 4] = –1

3 + 2[1x] + 2[–4] = –1

3 + 2x – 8 = –1

2x + 3 – 8 = –1

2x – 5 = –1

2x – 5 + 5 = –1 + 5

2x = 4

x = 2

LHS: 3 + 2[4x – (4 + 3x)]:

3 + 2[4(2) – (4 + 3(2))]

3 + 2[8 – (4 + 6)]

3 + 2[8 – (10)]

3 + 2[–2]

3 – 4

–1

Answer 2
