3(r+2s)=2t-4

a⋅(b-2)=3b

Question

$$a x - x ( a - b ) + 2 b x$$

Evaluate

$3bx$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $x$ by $a-b$.

$$ax-\left(xa-xb\right)+2bx$$

To find the opposite of $xa-xb$, find the opposite of each term.

$$ax-xa-\left(-xb\right)+2bx$$

Combine $ax$ and $-xa$ to get $0$.

$$-\left(-xb\right)+2bx$$

The opposite of $-xb$ is $xb$.

$$xb+2bx$$

Combine $xb$ and $2bx$ to get $3xb$.

$$3xb$$

Expand
