Did I do this right -3(4x + 3) -2=7-2x+3?

-3(4x + 3) - 2 = 7 - 2x + 3
-3*4x - 3*3 - 2 = 7 - 2x + 3
-12x - 9 - 2 = 7 - 2x + 3
-12x + 2x = 7 + 9 + 3 + 2
-10x = 21
x = 21/-10
x = -21/10 (-2.1)

-12x-9 -2= 7-2x +3
-10x= 21
x= - 21/10= - 2.1.

-3(4x+3)-2=7-2x+3
-12x-9-2=7-2x+3
-12x-11=10-2x
-12x+2x=10+11
-10x=21
x=-2.1

the answer seems to be explaining the respond in a convoluted way. a thank you to unravel the problem is to objective and isolate the x. they like you to renowned that the factor of the equation on the left area is two times as much as (17x-3.8)...it is the form you be conscious of what your first step is. So in case you divide the two aspects of the equation by using (17x-3.8), you're left with 2 on the left area and (x+12.5) on the right area. the subsequent step is to subtract 12.5 from the two area, so x= -10.5.

- 12x - 11 = - 2x + 10
- 21 = 10x
x = -21 / 10

You have an error in line 4 in that :-
- 9 - 2 = - 11
It is not a good idea to write as :-
+-9 - 2
This is in fact - 9 - 2 = - 11

nope- its wrong :-9-2=-11
-12x-9-2=10-2x
-12x-11=10-2x
-12x+2x=10+11
-10x=21
x=-21/10

U can verify by placing this value

yeah keep doin' the maths sums

yes
