What is the value of the expression-2 (3x-2) + x+9 when=-3

Answer is+28

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we will have to do the normal calculation first by opening the bracket then it's followed by substitution

Ok ... let's start solving

Back to the question,

-2 (3x-2) + x+9

Using bodmas rule

Bracket first,

-6x+4+x+9

Collect like terms

-6x+x+4+9

-5x+13

And in the question, it states that x=-3

Therefore we will have to substitute the value of x into our initial answer

-5 (-3) + 13

Remember that - * -=+

+15+13

=+28
