Answer:

$4x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(7x-5) -(3x-2)$

Remove unnecessary parentheses

$7x-5-(3x-2)$

When there is a " _" in front of any expression in parentheses , change the sign of each term of the expression.

$7x-5-3x+2$

Collect Like terms by subtracting their Coefficients

$(7-3)x$

Subtract the numbers

$4x-5+2$

Keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value and subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger

$-(5-2)$

Subtract the numbers

$-3$

$4x-3$

How do you add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers?

aniked [119]

Use a number line to add and subtract. With multiplying and dividing just do it like a whole number. But remember, you take the sign of the larger number (example: -20 + 9 = -29). And when there is two negatives (interger)it equals a positive.I hope this helps!
