      it should be (-)486

      2(4+5)x -3(4+5)
      2(9)x-3(9)
      18x-27
      -486

    First of all, I thank you immensely for the great work you’re doing here.

    Please I want to know if you can post an article on comprehensive, modern building services engineering, electrical… from step 1 to handover/commissioning.

    I will also appreciate it if you can give me some book references in same regard.

    Thanks so much again.
