Just as you would do it with any other number.
Write out some of it, then move the decimal point 3 places this way <=== .
Some of pi : 3.14159
Divide by 1,000 : 0.00314159
"3 less than twice 'x' " . . . . that's (2x - 3)
" 2 more than the quantity (3 x) " . . . . . that's (3x + 2)
Their product is
(2x - 3) (3x + 2) .
If you want to expand it to a single expression, perform the multiplication,
and you have
6x² - 5x - 6 .
1/7 = 2/14 =

<span>
0.1428571429

1/8 = 2/16 = 0.125
2/15 =

<span>
<span>
0.1333333333
</span>
</span>
</span>
So, 2/15 is between 1/7 and 1/8
(and there are an infinite amount of numbers between 1/7 and 1/8)
3(k-x)= -3x-9
3k - 3x = -3x - 9 ← equation without parentheses
3k - 3x + 3x = - 9
3k = -9
k = -9/3
k = -3 ← simplest form
