Answer 2

Hey Emily070505097,

Lets solve your problem step by step.


`(-9.6x+7)-(7.3x-9)`

To solve the problem we have to follow the PEMDAS order of operations.


`\left(-9.6x+7\right)-\left(7.3x-9\right)`

First, we have to remove the parenthesis.

⇒
`-9.6x+7-\left(7.3x-9\right)`

⇒
`-9.6x+7-7.3x+9`

Now we have to group like terms

⇒
`-9.6x-7.3x+7+9`

Next we have to add similar elements

⇒
`-16.9x+7+9`

⇒
`-16.9x+16`

Hope this helps,
