Answer:

Explanation:

STEP 1:

-11b-4-(-b+3)....bracket the equation that you are subtracting and add a mins sign infront of the bracket because you are asked to subtract -b+3 from -11b-4.

STEP 2:

-11b-4+b-3

the minus sign infront of the bracket changes the minus sign to a positive (+)sign because a minus(-) timesed by a minus is a positive(+). and a minus timesed by a positive(+) is a negative(-)

STEP 3:

-10b-7

add the b values together(11b-b) = 10b

add the numericals together -4+(-3)= -7

STEP 4:

final answer is -10b-7
