It looks like your expression was cut off. Could you paste the full expression you want simplified?
While you do, here’s the general rule and a couple of examples so you can check your work:
- Rule: 3(x − (something)) = 3x − 3*(something). A minus in front of parentheses flips the signs inside before multiplying.
Examples:
- 3(x − (2x + 5)) = 3x − 3(2x + 5) = 3x − 6x − 15 = −3x − 15
- 3(x − (x − 4)) = 3x − 3(x − 4) = 3x − 3x + 12 = 12
Send the full expression and I’ll simplify it exactly.
