Question 247315: please help me slove this equation:
6-3(5x+2)-10x

Problem:
6-3%285x%2B2%29-10x
Multiply -3 by each term inside the parenthesis:
6-15x-6-10x
Line up like terms so we know what to add or substract, then simplify:
6-6-15x-10x
-15x-10x
-25x

You did not express this as an equation, so I cannot determine the value of x.
For this expression to be an equation, it must equal to something.
