5x - (6-2 (x+3)) solve and explain

5x - (6-2 (x+3))

Distribute the Negative Sign

=5x+-1 (6-2 (x+3))

=5x + (-1) (6) + - 1 (-2 (x+3))

=5x+-6+2x+6

Distribute

=5x+-6+2x+6

Combine Like Terms

=5x+-6+2x+6

= (5x+2x) + (-6+6)

=7x

The answer is = 7x

you do the ones in the parentheses first - (6) - (2 (x+3))

so distribute parentheses then use apply minus-plus rules to get

-6+2 (x+3) then add the 5x to it 5x-6+2 (x+3) then you expand it so do

2 (x+3) and then use distribute parentheses to make 2x+2*3 then multiple the numbers 2*3=6

then put it all together 5x-6+2x+6 and solve first group/combine like terms

5x+2x=7x then do 7x-6+6 = 0 the 6 plus a - 6 to make 0 so the answer is 7x
