Question

Subtract.(6k + 5) - (2k + 5)

Answer 1

Consider the given expression,

`(6k+5)-(2k+5)`

Eliminate the parenthesis,

`6k+5-2k-5`

Note that only the like terms can be added.

So the expression becomes,

`\begin{gathered} (6k-2k)+(5-5) \\ 4k+0 \\ 4k \end{gathered}`

Thus, the subtraction gives,

`(6k+5)-(2k+5)=4k`
