Question

what is (-x+3)-(x-5)

Answer 1

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

$= - x + 3 - x + 5$

$= - 2x + 8$

$= - 2(x - 4)$

Hence, Answer is = - 2(x - 4)

Answer 2

Answer:

-2x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

we can write the equation (-x+3)-(x-5) as 1(-x+3)-1(x-5)

= 1(-x+3)-1(x-5)

then we use the distributive property

=1(-x+3)-1(x-5)

= -1x+3-1x+5

then we get the x numbers to one side and the numbers without x to one side.

= -1x-1x+5+3

then we add them( for adding -1x-1x we use the rules for adding numbers negative number then there are two negative like -1x-1x we add them when you add them when the answer comes the answer will be negative )

= -2x-+8 is the farthest we can simplify.
