4+-2x+3=3 (i dropped the parentheses and distributed the -1)
7-2x=3 (combined like terms and simplified the signs)
-2x=-4 (combined like terms some more)
X=2 (divided both sides by -2)
Hi!
Let's use the distribution property first.
4 - 1(2x - 3) = 3
4 - 2x + 3 = 3
Group together like terms
4 + 3 - 2x = 3
7 - 2x = 3
Subtract 7 from both sides.
7 - 7 - 2x = 3 - 7
-2x = -4
Divide by -2 on both sides
-2x/-2 = -4/-2
x = 2
The answer is x = 2
Hope this helps! :)
