Layton Hinton · Answer 2

11 x + - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(5 x - 2) - 2 (4 - 3 x)

-2 (4 - 3 x) = 6 x - 8:

6 x - 8 + 5 x - 2

Grouping like terms, 6 x + 5 x - 8 - 2 = (6 x + 5 x) + (-8 - 2):

(6 x + 5 x) + (-8 - 2)

6 x + 5 x = 11 x:

11 x + (-8 - 2)

-8 - 2 = - 10:

Answer: 11 x + - 10
