if this bothers you, review the distributive property and order of operations
−5 + 4(−2x+6)−3x
= -5 + 4(-2x) + 4(6) - 3x
= -5 - 8x + 24 - 3x
Now, since addition is commutative, that's
= -8x - 3x - 5 + 24
= -11x + 19
Ooooh now I see it. Thank you so much Oobleck!
Also, If you do not mind me asking are all Jiskha teachers on at any time?
we are just volunteers who drop by when we have time. There's no guarantee just who or where that will be. Sometimes you need to be patient.
Ok thank you.
