Question

when 6x - 3 is subtracted from 3x + 8 the difference is

Answer 1

If 6x - 3 is subtracted from 3x + 8 the we can writte it like:

$3x+8-(6x-3)$

then we can multiply the - into the parenthesis so:

$3x+8-6x+3$

then we simplify the term with an x and the term with constants so this is the difference:

$-3x+11$
