Multiply the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
31(12x−9)
Apply the distributive property
31×12x−31×9
Multiply the numbers
4x−31×9
Multiply the numbers
4x−3
2−(4x−3)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
2−4x+3
Add the numbers
5−4x
5−4x=6x×15
Multiply the terms
5−4x=90x
Move the variable to the left side
5−4x−90x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
−4x−90x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−4−90)x
Subtract the numbers
−94x
5−94x=0
Move the constant to the right side
−94x=0−5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−94x=−5
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
94x=5
Divide both sides
9494x=945
Solution
x=945
Alternative Form
x≈0.053191
