he steps should be written out, do not solve.
Hints: If there is a minus sign we have to distribute that minus sign. You can distribute it as a negative one if you want. Use the distributive property to combine like terms. Distribute through the parenthesis changing the sign of everything in the______parenthesis. Remove parentheses and brackets by multiplying factors. Ex: For the expression 3(2x+3), multiple the 3 by the 2x and by the 3 to get 6x+9. Use the exponent rule to remove grouping if the terms contain exponents. Ex: (x^2)^2 becomes x^4. Combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients. Ex: 5x+7x-3 becomes 12x-3-Ex. Combine the constants. Ex: 5x-3+7x+9 becomes 12x+6-Ex.
For example it should be written as steps.
