Question

-2-(x-3)=-4
What does x equal?

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

-2 -(x-3) = -4

You have to switch the signs into their opposites when you have -(?)

-2 - x + 3 = -4 Add liked terms

-x + 1 = -4

- 1 - 1 Subtract 1 from both sides

-x = -5 Get rid of the negative in the x

/-1 /-1 Divide -1 from each sides

x = 5
