3x -(-2-4x)=
What does this equals??


Sagot :

Answer:

7x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Equation: 3x − ( −2 − 4x)

First, we distribute the negative sign:

= 3x + (−1) (−2−4x)

=3x + (−1)(−2) + (−1)(−4x)

= 3x + 2 + 4x

Using the communitive property of addition, we can write:

= 3x + 4x + 2  (Instead of 3x + 2 + 4x)

Combining like terms, we get:

= (3x + 4x) + 2

= 7x + 2
