which question?
doesnt matter, any i just need an explanation
more importantly those
have you tried combining like terms
no i havent
so try
what is that
lets say 4x+2x-5
we "combine" the 4x and 2x to get 4x+2x=6x
5 bananas + 2 bananas + 4 apples = 7 bananas + 4 apples
and rhen 6x-5?
so i dont have to do anything with the []?
and the () dont matter right
yeap
it matters for subtraction
like (3x-5)-(5x+3)
you gotta distribute the negative first
so 3x-5-5x-3=-2x-8
5x-3?
how is that 8
i know that negative with negative equals positive
but like if 3x-5 is 2x isnt it the same with 5x-3
"GiveRep" command returned an error: strconv.ParseInt: parsing "=": invalid syntax
[(4x + 8) - (6x - 8)] + [-(2x + 2) - (2x - 2)]
= [4x + 8 + 6x + 8] + [-2x - 2 - 2x + 2]
= (10x + 16) + (-4x)
= 6x + 16.

**When helping people, please do not dump the full solution. **
Remember that these people are trying to learn concepts, and our goal should be to reinforce them. Giving them a solution will not help.
**Instead, give them hints and guide them toward the correct solution. **
You can ask things like "what part did you get stuck on?" or "what have you tried so far?" or give them a small starting hint. This ensures better learning. For more tips, reach out to Schlaumau (@schlaumau).
tutututu
thee shouldnt beest giving the answ'rs
thank u but i need an explanation on HOW to solve it 🥲
still need help?
i advise you to change your username before you, uh, get banned
x team and number team
they never play together
x can only be added with another x same with the "numbers"
But there a rules
PEMDAS
so there you want to simply I guess
you must get the number out of the parentheses first, but getting them out means multiplying by 1 when there is a plus in front of the parentheses and multiplying by -1 when there is a minus infront of the parenthes
Aftter you've done that you must respect another rule
The brackets
They are like the father of parentheses
They usually contain them
So now you must apply the same rules for them too multiplying by -1 when there is a minus sign and by 1 when there is a plus sign
But don't forget when you have the opportunity to add some x together do it it will simplify the work
sorry, was matching with a friend
