answer is −8x+6 (first choice)

Answer 2

Answer: −8x+6

Explanation:

Hi, the numbers are doubled, the correct question is:

• Subtract 5x−2 ​​from​ −3x+4

So, to answer this we simply have to solve the expression:

-3x+4 - (5x-2)

Applying distributive property for the (-) symbol. (to visualize it, it’s like multiplying by -1 each term in the parenthesis)

-3x+4 -(5x)-(-2)

-3x +4 -5x +2

Adding alike terms

-5x-3x+4+2

-8x+6

The result is -8x+6
