  • Graphical form: \"-2%2A%28x-3y%29=18\" simplifies to \"-2%2Ax%2B6%2Ay-18=0\"
  • Text form: -2*(x-3y)=18 simplifies to -2*x+6*y-18=0
  • Cartoon (animation) form: \"simplify_cartoon%28+-2%2A%28x-3y%29=18+%29\"

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-2%2A%28x-3%2Ay%29=highlight_red%28+18+%29\".
Moved these terms to the left \"highlight_green%28+-18+%29\"
It becomes \"-2%2A%28x-3%2Ay%29-highlight_green%28+18+%29=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-highlight_red%28+2%2A%28x-3%2Ay%29+%29-18=0\".
Expanded term \"-2\" by using associative property on \"%28x-3%2Ay%29\"
It becomes \"-highlight_green%28+2%2Ax+%29%2Bhighlight_green%28+2%2A3%2Ay+%29-18=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"-2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_red%28+2+%29%2Ahighlight_red%28+3+%29%2Ay-18=0\".
Multiplied numerator integers
It becomes \"-2%2Ax%2Bhighlight_green%28+6+%29%2Ay-18=0\".
Result: \"-2%2Ax%2B6%2Ay-18=0\"
