Multiply -60(2-x) = 300-120+60x combine like terms 180+60x you can stop their Or continue subtract 60x from both sides and you'll have 180=-60x divide 60 from both sides and you'll have x=-3
so PEMDAS so first you distribute the -30(2-x) and get -120-(-60x) or -120+60x then you do the rest 300-120+60x 180+60x factor out the 60 60(3+x) but the simplest form is 180+60x but both should work
