40= -1/3(9x+30)+2

Pls solve this in steps and explain

-1/3 x 9x -1/3 x 30 + 2

-3x -10 +2

-3x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a distributive type of problem you distribute the -1/3 to the 9x and the 30 by distribute i mean multiply. if you dont know how to multiply this use the calculator but you multiply it by the 2 pairs of numbers in the parenthesis and then you just add the 2

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
