Question

Find an expression which represents the difference when (-3x + 5y) is subtracted from (-6x + 3y) in simplest terms.

Answer 1

Find an expression which represents the difference when (-3x + 5y) is subtracted from (-6x + 3y) in the simplest terms.

$(-6x+3y)-(-3x+5y)$

Step 1

break the () and add similar terms

$\begin{gathered} -6x+3y+3x-5y \\ -3x-2y \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

so, the answer is -3x-2y
