Answer:
7x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Original Equation: 3x − ( −2 − 4x)
First, we distribute the negative sign:
= 3x + (−1) (−2−4x)
=3x + (−1)(−2) + (−1)(−4x)
= 3x + 2 + 4x
Using the communitive property of addition, we can write:
= 3x + 4x + 2 (Instead of 3x + 2 + 4x)
Combining like terms, we get:
= (3x + 4x) + 2
= 7x + 2
