SOLUTION: I am having a problem solving this math equation. Could you help me and show me step by step how you get the answer? Here is the problem: 8x +3 { 2 -6 (2x -3)}

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8x +3 { 2 -6 (2x -3)} ... Start with the given expression.


8x +3 { 2 -6(2x) -6(-3)} ... Distribute


8x +3 { 2 -12x + 18} ... Multiply


8x +3 {-12x + 20} ... Combine like terms.


8x +3 {-12x} + 3{20} ... Distribute


8x -36x + 60 ... Multiply


-28x + 60 ... Combine like terms.



So
8x +3 { 2 -6 (2x -3)} = -28x + 60

Since this expression has no equal sign, the only thing you can do is to reduce it. Do this with the "order of operations"
.
8x +3 { 2 -6 (2x -3)}
First, distribute the -6 to terms inside the parenthesis:
8x +3 { 2 - 12x + 18}
Next, distribute the 3 to terms inside the braces:
8x + { 6 - 36x + 54}
Next, remove braces:
8x + 6 - 36x + 54
Group terms:
(6+54) + (8x - 36x)
60 - 28x
You could leave the answer the way it is above, or you could factor as:
4(15 - 7x)

Here is the problem: 8x +3 { 2 -6 (2x -3)}
---
= 8x+3(2-12x+18)
= 8x + 3(20-12x)
= 8x + 60 - 36x
= 60 - 28x
