Question

Subtract and simplify (2y + 14.6m + 3.8) – (34.8m + 15.6 + 2y) need help fast

Answer 1

-(20.2m+11.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the bracket on the L.H.S by using the (-) sign to multiply

2y+ 14.8m + 3.8 - 34.8m - 15.6 - 2y

Rearrange

2y - 2y + 14.8m - 34.8m - 3.8 - 15.6

0 - 20.2m - 11.8

Factorize

- (20.2m + 11.8)

Answer 2

Answer: -2(10.1m+5.9)

Explanation:

*First step is to open the brackets which leads to,

2y+14.6m+3.8-34.8m-15.6-3y

*What I did above was to open the brackets of the second equation using the substraction sign

*Second step is to bring like terms together for evaluation which is ,

2y-2y+14.6m-34.8m+3.8-15.6

*Evaluating the above equation

0-20.2m-11.8

The resulting answer is; -20.2m-11.8

The best simplified answer is;

-(20.2m+11.8) ; -2(10.1m+5.9)
