Question

(20a-10) - (12a-3) subtract​

Answer 1

8a - 7

Explanation:

First, subtract 12a from 20a

20a - 12a

= 8a

Now, subtract -3 from -10.

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, so add 3 to -10.

-10 + 3

= -7

Put together 8a and -7

8a - 7

So, the simplified expression is 8a - 7
