Which of the following should you do first when solving the equation 2x-7=3x-2(x+8)

You have to multiply the 2 by whatever is in the parenthesis and of course it's a negative two remember that if you are solving it

Step-by-step explanation:

So that you simplify the equation when solving it

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
