I know how to perform mixed operations with parenthesis addition subtraction multiplication and division. At this point whats left is an expression with an exponent. Identify the number of TERMS in an expression.
This equation has parentheticals on both sides of the equation.
After Id simplified either side I moved the smaller of the two variable terms being the 35 x on the left-hand side to ensure that my resulting variable term had no minus sign on it. If an equation you need to solve has parentheses simplify the parentheses most often using distribution and then solve as you normally would. Solve 5x - 4 - 2x 3 -7 - 3x 5 2x. Now you can get rid of the parentheses altogether.
