Question

Simplify the following:

(10x - 5) - (7x + 3)
In order to type your answer in you must do just like you do with a graphing calculator:
-no spaces between factors and operations;
-don't use * for multiplication,
For example: 4x-7y

Answer 1

you distribute the negative to the right side of the equation so it would be 10x-5-7x-3
