It is either 2|x| - 3 or 2|x-3| depending on if the minus three is part of the absolute value.
negative read this : "MULTIPLICATION: minus times minus is plus (negative x negative = positive).....minus times plus is minus (negative x positive = negative).....plus times plus is plus (positive x positive = positive) DIVISION: minus divi minus is plus (negative ÷ negative = positive)......minus divi plus is minus (negative ÷ positive = negative).....plus divi plus is plus (positive ÷ positive = positive)"
The simple answer to the question is no, under no circumstances. To work out the right answer for different combinations of signs, read on. When two signs are different, take the smaller number from the bigger number and keep the sign of the bigger number.Let's work out some examples...* minus one (-1) and (plus) another minus one, is minus two (-2) * minus one (-1) minus (take away) one, is also minus two (-2)So if you take away any positive number from a negative number, the result gets more and more negative as the value of the second number increases. Now let's try adding a positive number to a negative number...* minus two (-2) plus one (+1) = minus one (-1) * minus two (-2) plus two (+2) = zero (0) * minus two (-2) plus three (+3) = one (1)So adding a positive number to a minus number only equals a positive number when the value of the positive number is greater than the negative number.
2 times 739 minus !6 equals 117,743,173,416,535,106
3x1+2=5
Three times negative 2 minus three is equal to -9
7 times minus 2 =
3x + (x-2) ----> 3x + x - 2 = 4x - 2, so the answer is four times the number, minus 2.
2 times a number minus 17 plus 20 times a number minus 9 is the same as 2x - 17 + 20x - 9 = 22x - 26

3x+6=8x-4 by the way x=2
5 and 2
If you mean: 6 times (3-3) plus 2 then the answer is 2
minus six If someone owes (i.e. minus) three dollars to two people, then he owes (minus) six dollars altogether.
3*(-2) = -6
Four times 3^2 minus two = 34.
