It is important because if you are adding and subtracfing and the decimals are off when your done with the equation you might end up with two decimals or numbers in the wrong place
Let's subtract then: 3x2 - 2x + 3 - (6x2 - 4x + 3)
taking out of the bracket with a changed sign: (there is a minus in front of the bracket)
3x2 - 2x + 3 - 6x2 + 4x - 3
let's reshuffle them so that similar terms are together:
3x2 - 6x2 - 2x + 4x + 3 - 3
Adding up similar terms:
-3x2 + 2x - that's our option 2!
X + x + 3(2+x)= 36
2x + 6 + 3x = 36
5x + 6 = 36
5x = 36 - 6
5x = 30
x = 6
Longer piece = 2 + 6 = 8inches
