simplify (3x-4)-(5x+2)

simplify

(3 x - 4) - (5 x + 2)

- 2 x - 6

Solution steps

(3 x - 4) - (5 x + 2)

Apply rule:

(a) = a

(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4

= 3 x - 4 - (5 x + 2)

Apply the distributive law:

- (a + b) = - a - b

- (5 x + 2) = - 5 x - 2

= 3 x - 4 - 5 x - 2

Group like terms

= 3 x - 5 x - 4 - 2

Add similar elements:

3 x - 5 x = - 2 x

= - 2 x - 4 - 2

Subtract the numbers:

- 4 - 2 = - 6

= - 2 x - 6

(\frac{2}{b ^{2}})^{3} \cdot (\frac{b ^{3}}{4})^{2} \cdot (\frac{1}{b ^{2}})^{2}

(3 + 2 i) + [(4 - 5 i) - (5 + i)]

\frac{a + b}{a ^{2} + ab} - \frac{b - a}{ab + b ^{2}}

8 u^{4} + u
