solve the equation with parentheses and variables on both sides of the equal sign.
5(x-4)+3x-9x=6-(2x+5)+8x
part1: use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
part2: collect any like terms on both sides of the equation.
part3: bring all variable terms to one side of the equation. (hint: add x to both sides)
part4: bring all constant terms to one side. a constant term is a number without a variable. (hint: subtract 1 from both sides.)
part5: now solve the one-step equation. show your work.
