有限公司mbine these terms into one expression to find the answer:
Example Question #8 :Simplifying Polynomials
Simplify the following expression:
To simplify this expression you need to carefully remove the parentheses by distributing the negative sign across all terms in the second set of parentheses. To do this, just take the opposite of each of those signs. That gives you:
Then you can combine like terms:
Example Question #9 :Simplifying Polynomials
Choose the answer that best simplifies the following expression:
To solve this expression, you need to remove the parentheses, being careful to account for the negative prior to the second set of parentheses. To distribute that negative, take the opposite of each sign for that set of values. Then, combine like terms:
