You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2(-x)+3(-x)+x+8=2(-x)
\n" ); document.write( "we carefully go through, perform the functions needed and remove the parenthese.
\n" ); document.write( "2(-x)=-2x
\n" ); document.write( "3(-x)=-3x
\n" ); document.write( "2(-x)=-2x
\n" ); document.write( "so we put them all together and
\n" ); document.write( "we have
\n" ); document.write( "-2x-3x+x+8=-2x
\n" ); document.write( "now we add them up
\n" ); document.write( "-2x-3x=-5x
\n" ); document.write( "-5x+x=-4x
\n" ); document.write( "so now we have -4x+8=-2x
\n" ); document.write( "add 4x to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-4x+4x=0
\n" ); document.write( "so on the left we have
\n" ); document.write( "0+8-2x
\n" ); document.write( "8=-2x
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by -2
\n" ); document.write( "8/-2=x
\n" ); document.write( "8/-2 = -(8/2)=-(4)
\n" ); document.write( "so now we have
\n" ); document.write( "-4=x
\n" ); document.write( "we are finished \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
