Question

What is 4-(2x-3)=3??

Answer 1

Hi!

Let's use the distribution property first.

4 - 1(2x - 3) = 3

4 - 2x + 3 = 3

Group together like terms

4 + 3 - 2x = 3

7 - 2x = 3

Subtract 7 from both sides.

7 - 7 - 2x = 3 - 7

-2x = -4

Divide by -2 on both sides

-2x/-2 = -4/-2

x = 2

The answer is x = 2

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

4+-2x+3=3 (i dropped the parentheses and distributed the -1)

7-2x=3 (combined like terms and simplified the signs)

-2x=-4 (combined like terms some more)

X=2 (divided both sides by -2)
