simplify 2(x-2)+5x-10+9x?

2(x-2)+5x-10+9x
2x-4+5x-10+9x
2x+5x-14+9x
7x-14+9x
16x-14

2 x - 4 + 5 x - 10 + 9 x

16 x - 14

2(x - 2) + 5x - 10 + 9x
= 2*x - 2*2 + 5x + 9x - 10
= 2x - 4 + 14x - 10
= 2x + 14x - 4 - 10
= 16x - 14
= 2(8x - 7)

kfc (K=keep F=flip C=change)

2(x-2)+5x-10+9x Copy the problem

2(x+-2)+5x+-10+9x (you use kfc) Use k for keep on x, use f for flip on -, use c for change on 2. The x will be the same. The - will turn into +. The 2 will be-2.

2(x)+2(-2)+5x+-10+9x You multiply 2(x) and 2(-2) you use good x bad=bad for 2(-2)

2x+-4+5x+-10+9x You add all the x's then add the numbers without the x and put the - -4+-10=-14

16x+-14 This is the answer

2(x - 2) + 5x - 10 + 9x

2x - 4 + 14x - 10

16x - 14

2 (x - 2) + 5x - 10 + 9x
2x - 4 + 5x - 10 + 9x (add up the x's and the numbers)
(2x, 5x, 9x, = 16x) (-4, -10, = -14)
16x = -14 (divide by 16)
x = -14/16
x = -7/8

First you have to distribute 2 into (x-2), then just simplify!

2(x-2)+5x-10+9x
= 2x -4 + 5x - 10 + 9x
= 16x -14 <= this is the answer but you can reduce is to 2(8x - 7)

2x-4+5x-10+9x
7x-4-10+9x
16x-14
and if u solve for x....

x= 14/16 or 7/8

2x-4+5x-10+9x
16x-14

2x-4+5x-10+9x
16x-14
