Simplify the following: (r+s-t)-(r-s+t)

1 answer:

4 0

R+s-t-(r-s+t)

=2s-t is the answer

People think this answer would be just =2s but I have verified with an online calculator and the answer that textbooks look for regarding this is 2s-t

You would assume you would go r-r and thats 0 so no r's

you would say s-(-s) makes it plus and theres 2s

and you would say -t -(+t) is -t

that's why the answer is 2s-t

At first I also did t-(+t) and thought it would be no t's but the answer is in fact 2s-t

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. The sum of all the angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°.

The length of different sides are:

$AB = \sqrt{(5-1)^2+(-4-2)^2} = \sqrt{16+36} = \sqrt{52}\rm\ units$
