We want to subtract 8x + 3 from -2x+5. We can create an expression to represent this.
-2x + 5 - (8x + 3).
After this, lets distribute the - sign (think of this like expanding something with -1).
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Lastly, we just need to combine like terms.
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Combine the 5 and -3 to get 2.
-2x + 2 - 8x
Combine the -2x and -8x to get -10x.
-10x + 2
The final answer to the question is therefore A.
Okay so the first one is right.
The second one is wrong.
the third one is right.
The forth one is wrong.
Yes <span>-(12/-17) is equal to 12/17
I hope this helps.
Have a awesome day. :)</span>
If the -8 is under the square root, then...
OR
If the -8 is not under the square root, then...
Either way, we replace x with -3 and simplify.
For more information, refer to the direct substitution rule for limits.
