Is this correct? solving 4{[5(x-3) +2] - 3[2(x+5) - 9)

[Derek]

I am trying to solve the following equation and I have enclosed my work. Is this correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

4{[5(x-3) +2] - 3[2(x+5) - 9)

4{[5x-15+2] - 3[2x+10 -9]}
4{[5x - 13] - 3[2x+1]}
(20x - 52) - (6x - 3)
14x-52+3
= 14x - 49
