By the way.

does February March?.... NO but April May

Answer 2

-3 (-5x + 4) = -6

•first distribute the -3 by multiplying it by the numbers inside the bracket

15x - 12 = -6

•move the 12 over to the other side to solve for x

Note: when moving numbers to the other side of the equal sign, the sign switches from negative (-) to positive (+)

15x = -6 + 12

•divide both side by 15 to solve for x

15x = 6

x = 6/15

OR (the fraction could be further reduced by dividing top and bottom by 3)

x = 2/5

Remember when multiplying or dividing:
(# -> number sign)

Positive # x positive # = positive number

Negative # x negative # = positive number

Positive x negative = negative

Negative x positive = negative
