Question

Simplify the expression
(-3+4k) - (-2+ 7k)

Answer 1

Answer: −1−3k

Explanation:

Distribute:

(−3+4k)−1(−2+7k)

(-3+4k)+{2-7k}

Eliminate redundant parentheses:

(−3+4k)+2−7k

-3+4k+2-7k

Add the numbers:

−3+4k+2−7k

−1+4k−7k

Add the same term to both sides of the equation:

−1+4k−7k

−1−3k
