Answer: 24x - 2

Explanation:

You can't subtract the Coefficient and the Natural Number, so you can only do 24x - (5 - 3)

Which will end up as 24x - 2.

Answer:

Explanation:

24x - 5 - 3 can be simplified by combining the constants (-5 and -3) into a single constant (-8):

24x - 5 - 3 = 24x - 8

Therefore, the simplified expression is 24x - 8.
