4x - 2(3x - 9)....distribute the 2 thru the parenthesis
4x - 6x + 18....combine like terms
-2x + 18 <===
Remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
and when multiply or divide by a negative in inequalities, flip the direction of the sign
12x-39<9
add 39 to both sides
12x<48
divde bothh sides by 12
x<4
-4x+3<-6
minus 3 both sides
-4x<-9
times both sides by -1 and flip sign
4x>9
divide both sides by 4
x>9/4
3 sorry if it is wrong but have a good day
3( 1/2 - y) = 3/5 + 15y
Applying distributive property:
3*1/2 - 3y = 3/5 + 15y
3/2 - 3y = 3/5 + 15y
3/5 is adding on the right, then it will subtract on the left
3y is adding on the left, then it will subtract on the right
3/2 - 3/5 = 15y + 3y
15/10 - 6/10 = 18y
9/10 = 18y
18 is multiplying on the right, then it will divide on the left
9/10*1/18 = y
1/10*1/2 = y
1/20 = y
