i brake it down a little differently..
3(2-x)-2(3-x)
for the first one you get
(6-3x) second would be like saying
+ -2(3-x) so you would get
+ -6+2x which breaking down i belive you would get just -x
because you can do it steves way but i belive since the () around the last one you have to change the sign's inside the () so first # becomes - while second becomes +.. but don't fully quote me on it.. which i just put it into PowerCalc from the Xp powertoys with
batz(x)=3*(2-x)-2*(3-x)
the type
batz(6) and the answer will be -6 so it works like this.. if you don't have powertoys http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/d...ertoys.asp
just download the PowerCalc its alot better calc then the normal one since you can define functions etc.. hehe
