In this problem, we're being asked to solve the given equation.
00:03
Well, anytime you're asked to solve an equation, the first thing you need to do is remove your parentheses.
00:07
So to remove the first set of parentheses, we'll distribute the two.
00:10
Well, 2 times x is 2x, and 2 times negative 3 is negative 6.
00:16
We'll bring down the minus 5.
00:18
Then to remove our second set of parentheses, we'll distribute the 4.
00:21
Well, 4 times x is 4x, and 4 times negative 5 is negative 20.
00:27
Okay.
00:27
Well, now on the left -hand side of the equation, i see we have like terms.
00:31
So let's combine them.
00:33
Negative 6 minus 5 is negative 11...
