Let's simplify step-by-step. 52 - (30 - 2 (7-x))

Distribute the Negative Sign: = 52 + - 1 (30 - 2 (7-x)) = 52 + (-1) (30) + - 1 ( - 2 (7-x)) = 52 + - 30 + - 2x + 14

Distribute: = 52 + - 30 + - 2x + 14

Combine Like Terms: = 52 + - 30 + - 2x + 14 = ( - 2x) + (52 + - 30 + 14) = - 2x + 36

Answer: = - 2x + 36
