Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

we have been asked to simplify

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

To Simplify this, we will first open the parenthesis, as below

$(3x-5)-(5x + 1)=3x-5-5x-1\\ \\ \text{take the like terms together and simplify we get}\\ \\ (3x-5)-(5x + 1)=3x-5x-5-1\\ \\ (3x-5)-(5x + 1)=-2x-6$

Hence the simplified expression is -2x-6
