Question 74435: 5(2x-1) - 3(x-4) = 4(x+4)
I got the most of it. sec 3(x-4)should it be
3(x+4). I seen something about - changing to positive or the other way around.
In an example.
2(3x-1)-3(x+5)=4
after doing the dist prop.
6x-2 - 3x (+ or -15) the book put a -. When should I change my signs. And why.

Solve for x:
Apply the distributive property liberally.
Combine like-terms.
Subtract 4x from both sides.
Subtract 7 from both sides.
Finally, divide both sides by 3.

Check: Substitute x=3.
Simplify.

Apply the distributive property.
Combine like-terms.
Add 17 to both sides.
Divide both sides by 3.
