You can put this solution on YOUR website! Wherever you have parentheses, always do
the work inside the parentheses first.
-------------------------------------
If you have parentheses within parentheses,
work from the inside out.
-------------------------------------
There is nothing to do inside these parentheses
since they are in the simplest form possible.
---------------------------------------
Use the distributive law to get rid of the parentheses
Combine like terms. x's with x's and constants with constants
Add to both sides
----------------------
To check the answer, plug it back into original equation
As I said, work inside the parentheses first
Note that a minus times a minus is a plus
OK
