Explanation Given Information: The provided expression is [ 3 ( x + 4 ) − 6 ] − [ 8 + 2 ( x − 5 ) ] Formula used: Distributive law: If a , b and c are real number, then a ⋅ ( b + c ) = a b + a c Calculation: First remove parentheses: Expand 3 ( x + 4 ) and 2 ( x − 5 ) by applying the distributive law and simplify the expression as follows: [ 3 ( x + 4 ) − 6 ] − [ 8 + 2 ( x − 5 ) ] = [ 3 x + 12 − 6 ] − [ 8 + 2 x − 10 ] Group like terms: [ 3 ( x + 4 ) − 6 ] − [ <

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
