Once you plug in -18 as x you divide it with 6 and the answer of that is -3 then you add 17 and -3 and your output will be 14!
Triple t ⇒ 3t
add the result to u ⇒ 3t + u
multiply what you have by v ⇒ (3t + u)v
Since it is instructed not to simplify, we perform the distributive property of multiplication.
(3t + u)v = 3tv + uv
34? Or 32? I’m not sure cause it’s a 2 step problem and math isn’t the best thing I’m good at
