-19 w - 3
-22 w

Answer 1

The difference between the given two expression as - 19 w - 3 .

Explanation:

Given algebraic expression as

- 14 w - 3 and 5 w

Now, Let the difference between the given two expression = x

or, x = ( - 14 w - 3 ) - 5 w

or , x = - 14 w - 5 w -3

or, x = w ( - 14 - 5 ) - 3

Or, x = -19 × w - 3

∴ x = -19 w -3

So, The difference is - 19 w - 3

Hence The difference between the given two expression as - 19 w - 3 . Answer
