Question

(2x-7y)-(8x-6y) in simpelist form

Answer 1

- 6x - y

==================

Distribute the negative sign to each term inside the second parentheses, which gives us:

• 2x - 7y - 8x + 6y

Then, we can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of x and y separately:

• 2x - 8x = - 6x
• - 7y + 6y = - y

so the simplified form of the expression is - 6x - y.
