Hi there!
[tex]\large\boxed{4x - 2}[/tex]
7x - (3x + 2)
Simplify by distributing the negative sign:
7x - (3x) - (2)
Combine like terms:
4x - 2
Answer:
2(2x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
opening the parenthesis and distributing the - sign to both 3x and 2
= 7x - 3x - 2
= 4x - 2
taking 2 common
= 2 (2x - 1)
