Algebra.Com's Answer #7945 by elima(1433)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 19-(2x+3)=2(x+3)+x take everthing out of bracket \n" ); document.write( "19-2x+3=2x+6+x without Bracket \n" ); document.write( "+2x+22=2x+6+x Added 19+3 \n" ); document.write( "+22=-2x+2x+x move variable to one side \n" ); document.write( "+22=x -2x+2x cancel each other out \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First when you distribute the -1 to (2x+3), they both change to -; \n" ); document.write( "19-2x-3=2(x+3)+x \n" ); document.write( "Now distribute the 2(x+3); \n" ); document.write( "which you did correctly; \n" ); document.write( "so you have: \n" ); document.write( "19-2x-3=2x+6+x \n" ); document.write( "Now move variable to one side and add like terms; \n" ); document.write( "16-6=2x+x+2x \n" ); document.write( "10=5x \n" ); document.write( "Divide by 5; \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "2=x \n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( " |
