Question

( –5g – 6) – (4g – 1)

Answer 1

Simplify the following:

-5 g - 6 - (4 g - 1)

Factor -1 out of -5 g - 6 - (4 g - 1):

-(5 g + 4 g - 1 + 6)

Grouping like terms, 5 g + 6 - 1 + 4 g = (5 g + 4 g) + (6 - 1):

-((5 g + 4 g) + (6 - 1))

5 g + 4 g = 9 g:

-(9 g + (6 - 1))

6 - 1 = 5:

Answer: -(9 g + 5)
