Question

(-14+3/2b)-(1+8/2b)​

Answer 1

Answer: -10/b

Step-by-step explanation:

(-14 + 3)/2b - (1 + 8)/2b
= -11/2b - 9/2b
= (-11 - 9)/2b
= -20/2b
= -10/b

Answer 2

`\Large \boxed{(-5)/(2)b -15}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\displaystyle (-14+(3)/(2)b )-(1+(8)/(2) b)`

Distributing the negative sign to the terms in the bracket.

`\displaystyle -14+(3)/(2)b -1-(8)/(2) b`

Grouping the like terms in the expression.

`\displaystyle (-(8)/(2) b +(3)/(2)b) +(-1-14)`

Combining the like terms in the expression.

`\displaystyle ((-8+3)/(2)b) +(-15)`

`\displaystyle ((-5)/(2)b) +(-15)`
