The first step for solving this expression is to remove the first set of parenthesis. -8.3x + 4 - (3.2x - 5) Remember that when there is a "-" sign in front of the parenthesis,, we must change the sign of each term in the parenthesis. This will change the expression to the following: -8.3x + 4 - 3.2x + 5 Collect the like terms with an x variable. -11.5x + 4 + 5 Lastly,, add the numbers to get your final answer. -11.5x + 9 Let me know if you have any further questions. :)
