A subtraction problem can be turned in to an addition problem because of negative numbers. Take 5-2=3 for example. If you change 5-2 into an addition problem then you would but he addition sign and a negative sign on 2. This will then leave you with the problem looking like 5+ -2. If you add 5 and -2 you will still get three.

1) Use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses.
.. 3(6x) -3(5) -7(3x) -7(10) = 0
.. 18x -15 -21x -70 = 0 . . . . . . finish multiplying terms
.. -3x -85 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect like terms
.. -85 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add 3x
.. -85/3 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3
.. -28 1/3 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . write as mixed number


2) 5 -(6 +9x) = 9 -(4x -1)
.. 5 -6 -9x = 9 -4x +1 . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
.. -1 -9x = 10 -4x . . . . . . . . . collect like terms
.. -1 = 10 +5x . . . . . . . . . . . . add 9x
.. -11 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
.. -11/5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
