3x+2-6=2x+3   simplify

3x - 4 = 2x + 3     add 4 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides

x = 7

NO.....NO....NO.....folks !!!  What Melody says is correct.....!!!!

The "Parentheses" and "Exponents"  part is correct.

But, multiplication and division are done at the same level of precedence........this means that we perform whichever of these comes first as we move from left to right....!!!!

For instance......

20 ÷ 5 x 2

It is incorrect to multiply 5 x 2, first, and then perform the divison second. This results in an answer = 2.

The correct order is to divide the 20 by 5 and then multiply this result by 2 = 8. Note that this is quite different from 2 !!!!

Addition and subtraction are also performed at the same level of precedence, but these usually don't cause too much of a problem. It's usually the multiplication/division that give people trouble.......

LOL, Nauseated!!!!

I think you might mean "direct variation" or "directly propotionate"

Here's a simple example :

y = x

Notice that, as x gets larger, y gets larger. And, as x gets smaller, y gets smaller. And that's the whole idea. As one side of an equation changes in some direction, the other side changes in the same direction, too.

Pretty simple, huh ????

This is a theoretical impossibilty.......everyone knows that, if the Cowboys start 2 - 7, they'll finish up at 4-12......thus.....56% is out of the question.......!!!!!

BECAUSE.......THE COWBOYS SUCK  !!!!!!

No.......we  just play them on TV .......most of us are bottlewashers or carpet cleaners........

A square doesn't actually have a "radius"......if you mean its "diagonal," we have......

Area = [d / √2]^2      ...... where d is the diagonal length......

"Shaken, not shifted".......LOL, geno  !!!!    

Nice  James  Bond "spot" on your part.....!!!!!

I'd give 6 points for this......if I could......

Never ask "why" - (y) -  where her "ex" - (x) -   is.......He's not coming back  !!!!!
