For this case we have:
Given
, we want to find an expression equivalent to
.
Let the equation
be:
Subtract -2b on both sides of the equation:
![a + b-2b = 0-2b](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/oi8j6scjalgx45xrqoy0wdsee6axt3c7nw.png)
Taking into account that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:
![a-b = -2b](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/hsbuo1mcvd3q9gn65q0xf81y5ckmfypm7e.png)
Thus, an expression equivalent to
is
.
Answer:
-2b
