Question

What is the result from the expression
`(6x-3)` is subtracted from
`(-3x+2)`

Answer 1

9 x - 5

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

6 x - 3 - (-3 x + 2)

-(-3 x + 2) = 3 x - 2:

6 x - 3 + (-2 + 3 x)

Grouping like terms, 6 x - 3 - 2 + 3 x = (6 x + 3 x) + (-3 - 2):

(6 x + 3 x) + (-3 - 2)

6 x + 3 x = 9 x:

9 x + (-3 - 2)

-3 - 2 = -(3 + 2):

9 x + (-(3 + 2))

3 + 2 = 5:

Answer: 9 x - 5
