Question 886195
6(x-2)-3(x+1)=4(3+2)
law of operations says do multiplication and division first from left to right, then addition and subtraction from left to right.  note that parenthesis says do me first.  here we go
6x-12 -3x-3 = 20
combine terms
3x -15 = 20
add 15 to both sides of =
3x = 35
divide both sides of = by 3
x = 35/3
