Answer:

Hello!!!

Explanation:

The first step for solving this expression is to remove the first set of parenthesis.

-8.3x+4 - (3.2x-5)

Remember that when there is a "_" sign in front of the parenthesis, we must change the sign of the expression to the following

-8.3x + 4 - 3.2x + 5

Collect the like terms with an x variable.

-11.5x + 4 + 5

Lastly, add the number to get your final answer

-11.5x + 9

Hope that helps you dear...

Have a nice day..

Buhbye!
