Question

Subtract (r - 3q + 5p) - (-4r - 3q - 8p)

Answer 1

5r + 13p

Explanation:

In this question, you would simplify the expression.

Solve:

(r - 3q + 5p) - (-4r - 3q - 8p)

Use the distributive property to distribute the negative to the variables inside the parenthesis.

r - 3q + 5p + 4r + 3q + 8p

Combine like terms.

r - 3q + 5p + 4r + 3q + 8p

5r - 3q + 5p + 3q + 8p

5r + 5p + 8p

5r + 13p

Since we can't simplify further, your final answer would be 5r + 13p

Answer 2

Answer: ok so Let's simplify step-by-step.

r−3q+5p−(−4r−3q−8p)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=r−3q+5p+−1(−4r−3q−8p)

=r+−3q+5p+−1(−4r)+−1(−3q)+−1(−8p)

=r+−3q+5p+4r+3q+8p

Combine Like Terms:

=r+−3q+5p+4r+3q+8p

=(5p+8p)+(−3q+3q)+(r+4r)

=13p+5r
