    You got -15r + 3(2s - 4r) = -19r + 6s

    Arithmetic seems to be slightly off.

    I get...

    -15r + 6s - 12r (FOIL'd)

    -27r + 6s (combine like terms; note opposite signs, I think you missed it a little)

    I'm not sure how you got -19r either.

    You shouldn't study when your brain is not awake so you just finish earlier. Relax, wake up first and then start studying. And when you're tired from studying, make a 10 minute break, go drink some juice and grab something to eat, and then go to study again.

    Ah I see.

    And yeah, it is true due to commutative property of addition kthx ;o

    EDIT: Also I'd probably ask KHV if I had trouble on a math problem. Although, really, I wouldn't expect a right answer. I'd just be looking for help mostly. lol

    not a math teacher...
