Answer:
x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
distributive property first since you stick with parentheses first (PEMDAS)
so 3x - 6 is what it would be.. then you would want to think of the equation as 5x - 3x - 2 - x. seems somewhat complicated but to others not so much.
Next you’re gonna just want to subtract, but you should probably make the problem easier so you can just subtract across right? it’d be 5x - 3x - x - 2. that way all the x variables are together and anything else is separate.
5x - 3x is 2x - x or - 1x is x or 1x.
i think just using the variable x for it being 1 is easier so now we have the problem x - 2.
anything else? nope! that’s the simplified equation.
hope that i was able to help :)
