[tex]\bold{-2[9-(x+7)] = -4+2x}[/tex]
Solution:
Given, -2[9-(x+7)]
According to the BODMAS rule,
Multiplying the sign inside the brackets we get,
[tex]\Rightarrow -2[9-x-7][/tex]
On subtracting 9 from 7 we get,
[tex]\Rightarrow -2[2-x][/tex]
On multiplying (-2) inside the brackets,
[tex]\Rightarrow -2\times2-(-2\times x)[/tex] (distributive property)
[tex]\Rightarrow (-4+2\times x)[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow (-4+2x)[/tex]
