What is the answer to negative seven parenthesis eight x minus three plus x?

Answer 1

You should note that expressions cannot be solved. Only equations may be solved. However, we can reduce expressions to their simplest form. We should write out the problem as our first step. We would result in:

• -7 (8x - 3) + x

Now our next step is to distribute the -7 inside the parentheses.

• -7 (8x - 3) + x
• (-56x + 21) + x

Now we need to combine like terms.

• (-56x + 21) + x
• -55x + 21

Thus our simplified expression is -55x + 21.
