Question

Simplify this expression. Show your work. (7x - 5) - (3x - 2)​

Answer 1

4x-3

Explanation:

(7x-5) - (3x-2)

aka

(7x-5) -1 (3x-2)

first distribute the -1 into (3x-2)

-3x+2

so

(7x-5)+ -3x+2

next combine like terms

7x-3x=4x

so

4x-5+2

then

-5+2=-3

so

4x-3 would be your simplified equation
