You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have the correct answer. Here is how to get it:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9-3(2x-5)=4x-6 , first do the multiplication to get rid of parentheses
\n" ); document.write( " , here you should know that negative number -3
\n" ); document.write( " multiplied with 2x gives -6x
\n" ); document.write( " multiplied with -5 gives +10
\n" ); document.write( " negative times negative is positive
\n" ); document.write( " positive times positive is positive
\n" ); document.write( " negative times positive is negative
\n" ); document.write( " positive times negative is negative
\n" ); document.write( "9-6x+15 =4x-6 , now combine 9 and 15 on the left side
\n" ); document.write( "24-6x =4x-6 , we can exchange left and right sides,
\n" ); document.write( "4x-6 =24-6x , add 6x to the both sides
\n" ); document.write( "4x-6+6x =24-6x+6x , combine terms with x on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "10x-6 =24 , add 6 to the both sides
\n" ); document.write( "10x-6+6 =24+6 , combine numbers on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "10x =30 , divide both sides by 10
\n" ); document.write( "10x/10 =30/10 , do division
\n" ); document.write( "x =3 , here is your answer :-)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
