You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"3%284x-2%29-6%28x%2B1%29-11x\"$ Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"12x-6-6x-6-11x\"$ Distribute\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5x-12\"$ Combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So $\"3%284x-2%29-6%28x%2B1%29-11x\"$ simplifies to $\"-5x-12\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, $\"3%284x-2%29-6%28x%2B1%29-11x=-5x-12\"$ for all values of x\r
