[jamescb77]

Tweet12z+3

[daved150]

Tweet12z+3 is the answer?...if so, how did you get that?

[jamescb77]

Tweetyou distribute the 3 into everything so basically it's (3x4z)+(3x1)=12z+3

[BABY1]

TweetWow, I haven't got a clue about this anymore. I used to get A's in math and now I can't remember any of that!

[horsepwr]

TweetThat's 18z+3
3x6z + 3x1

[horsepwr]

Tweetshe must be in pre-algebra

[jamescb77]

Tweetdamn it horse your right i can't believe i screwed up 3x6 wow i feel stupid now lol

[horsepwr]

Tweetlol...yep, I just scrolled up, and it looks like you must have saw a 3 but were thinking 2. You know what you're talking about though.

[horsepwr]

Tweetand to explain it dave, you always treat the parenthesis as an (x). 3(6)=18

Tweetnnnnnk, ummm if she needs help with History please let me know. I hate you math wizards.

[horsepwr]

TweetI got interupted, but another example of the same:

2(2z+2)
4z+4

That looked like I was talking about Doink the Clown. I didn't mean interupted by the post above. The phone interupted me.
