I cannot figure out where I am going wrong on this problem. I distributed solving the parentheses first, but no matter what I do, I keep getting this problem wrong.
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2[1-3(x+2)]=2x
\n" ); document.write( "This is my work..
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2[1-3(x+2)]=2x
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2[1-3x-6]=2x
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2-6x-12=2x
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "-3x -10 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "I get x= -10.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2[1-3(x+2)]=2x
\n" ); document.write( "2[1-3(x+2)] = -x
\n" ); document.write( "2 - 3(x+2) = -x
\n" ); document.write( "- 3(x+2) = -x-2
\n" ); document.write( "3(x+2) = x+2
\n" ); document.write( "3x+6 = x+2
\n" ); document.write( "2x+4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
