Question

Simplify 8 + 3{x - 2[x + 5(x + 3)]}. -33x + 82 33x - 82 -33x - 82

Answer 1

Answer:

-33x - 82

Step-by-step explanation:

Use

PEMDAS:

P      Parentheses first

E Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

and the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac.

$1)\qquad5(x+3)=5x+15\\\\2)\qquad x+5(x+3)=x+5x+15=6x+15\\\\3)\qquad2[x+5(x+3)]=2(6x+15)=12x+30\\\\4)\qquad x-2[x+5(x+3)]=x-(12x+30)=x-12x-30=-11x-30\\\\5)\qquad3\{x-2[x+5(x+3)]\}=3(-11x-30)=-33x-90\\\\6)\qquad8+3\{x-2[x+5(x+3)]\}=8+(-33x-90)=-33x-82$
