Question

From the sum of 3x+ 5y -2 and 2x-3y +1 subtract the sum of 4x -8y +3 and -5x + 6y +7

Answer 1

First, let's simplify both sums by combining like terms:

3x + 5y - 2 + 2x - 3y + 1 = 5x + 2y - 1

4x - 8y + 3 - 5x + 6y + 7 = -x - 2y + 10

Now we can subtract the second sum from the first:

(5x + 2y - 1) - (-x - 2y + 10) = 5x + 2y - 1 + x + 2y - 10

Simplifying this expression, we get: 6x + 4y - 11
