Question

Simplify 3k - (2m + 5K) - m

Answer 1

Answer:

$-3m-2k$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given to simplify : 3k - (2m + 5K) - m

Solution :

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:-\left(a+b\right)=-a-b$

$-\left(2m+5k\right)=-2m-5k$

$=3k-2m-5k-m$

$\mathrm{Group\;like\;terms}$

$=-2m-m+3k-5k$

$\mathrm{Group\;like\;terms}$

$=-3m+3k-5k$

$\mathrm{Group\;like\;terms}$

$=-3m-2k$

Answer 2

hello!

Use the distributive property:-

-(2m+5k) = -2m-5k $\checkmark$

$\rule{270}{1}$

Let's simplify this expression by combining like terms:-

$\bigstar$ The like terms are:-

3k, -5k

and

-2m, -m

$\bigstar{$ Combine Like terms:-

3k-5k=-2k

-2m-m=-3m

Hence, we have:-

$\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{-2k-3m}}$
