Question

Subtract 5x−2 ​​from​ −3x+4 . What is the answer? −8x+6 −8x+2 8x−6 2x + 2

Answer 1

Answer:

-8x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract "5x-2" from "-3x + 4". Set the equation.

(-3x + 4) - (5x - 2) = Answer (A)

First, distribute -1 to all terms within the second parenthesis.

-3x + 4 - 5x + 2 = A

A = -5x - 3x + 4 + 2

Simplify. Combine like terms (terms with the same amount of variables).

A = (-5x - 3x) + (4 + 2)

A = -8x + 6

-8x + 6 is your answer, or the first answer choice.
