Is this the right answer? 42+x-3(x-2)+11
42+8-3(8-2)+11
47×6+11
282+11
293
No.
As I understand your problem, x is an unknown.
42+x-3(x-2)+11
42 + x - 3x + 6 + 11
42 + 17 - 2x
59 - 2x
No x is 8
In that case, things are still a bit off:
42+8-3(8-2)+11
42+8-3(6)+11
42+8-18+11
50-18+11
32+11
43
multiplication comes before addition
Yes, your answer is correct. The expression 42+x-3(x-2)+11 can be simplified as follows:
Step 1: Distribute the -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
42 + x - 3x + 6 + 11
Step 2: Combine like terms:
(42 + 6 + 11) + (x - 3x)
(42 + 17) + (-2x)
Step 3: Simplify the constants:
59 + (-2x)
So, the simplified expression is 59 - 2x.
However, it seems that you made a mistake in your calculations. Let's go through the steps to find the correct answer:
Step 1: Calculate the terms inside the parentheses:
42 + 8 - 3(8 - 2) + 11
Step 2: Simplify the inner parentheses:
42 + 8 - 3(6) + 11
Step 3: Simplify the multiplication:
42 + 8 - 18 + 11
Step 4: Combine like terms:
(42 + 8 + 11) - 18
Step 5: Simplify the constants:
61 - 18
Step 6: Perform the subtraction:
43
So, the correct answer to the expression 42+x-3(x-2)+11 is 43.
