Question

When 6x - 3 is subtracted from 3x + 8 the difference is

Answer 1

If 6x - 3 is subtracted from 3x + 8 the we can writte it like:

`3x+8-(6x-3)`

then we can multiply the - into the parenthesis so:

`3x+8-6x+3`

then we simplify the term with an x and the term with constants so this is the difference:

`-3x+11`
