Question

Subtract: (8x + 7) - (4x + 5) *
O4x + 12
O 44-12
O4x + 2
O 44-2

Answer 1

4X+2

Explanation:

Since there is a negative in front of (4X+5), this will change the signs of both 4x and +5 to (-4X) and (-5) respectively.

This will make the equation look like as follows:-

8X +7 - 4X- 5

Thus on solving we get:-

8X- 4X +7 - 5

= 4X +2
