Solve 9 35x 2. When you see a math problem containing parentheses you need to use the order of operations to solve it. Now a good place to start is to just get rid of these parentheses.
Solving Equations with Parentheses Once youve learned the basics of solving linear equations your textbook and instructor will start throwing exercises at you that involve parentheticals which usually need first to be simplified or expanded which means that youve multiplied through and then simplified the result.
As you now know we must first solve the parentheses. Solving Equations with Parentheses Once youve learned the basics of solving linear equations your textbook and instructor will start throwing exercises at you that involve parentheticals which usually need first to be simplified or expanded which means that youve multiplied through and then simplified the result. Sometimes it requires both techniques. We have the equation negative 9 minus this whole expression 9x minus 6-- this whole thing is being subtracted from negative 9-- is equal to 3 times this whole expression 4x plus 6.
