Can anyone explain to me on how to do (6a+2) - (5a+3)??

Question

Can you please show me the steps on how to do it please?thanks ;)

Answer 1

(6a+2)-(5a+3)
6a+2-5a-3 (notice the 'minus' 3)
6a-5a+2-3
a-1.

Now assuming the problem said (6a+2)-(5a+3)=0, you can go farther...
a-1=0.
a-1+(1)=0+(1)
a=1

To double-check...
(6a+2)-(5a+3)=0
(6*1+2)-(5*1+3)=0
(8)-(8)=0
8-8=0
0=0.

Answer 2

So you have (6a+2)-(5a+3). Start out by multiplying the negative into the (5a+3) to get rid of the parenthesis. If multiplying negatives is a weird idea, pretend it's -1 in front of the (5a+3). The equation would end up being 6a+2-5a-3. Then simplify, so you would get a-1.

Answer 3

The answer is : a - 1.

You can show this by "opening up" the parentheses:

(6a+2) - (5a+3) = 6a + 2 - 5a - 3.

(Note that the ' - ' sign before the second set of parentheses operated on BOTH elements inside it, thus producing ' - 5a ' and ' - 3 '.)

Then re-order the last expression into like terms; it becomes:

6a - 5a + 2 - 3 = a - 1. QED

This last step is just a question of separately combining the a-containing and the non-a-containing terms.

When you become more practiced at this, you will learn to just LOOK at:

(6a+2) - (5a+3),

and IMMEDIATELY AND SEPARATELY PICK OUT the a- and non-a-terms and write down the answer, doing it in your head.

Good luck with this in future.

Live long and prosper.

Answer 4

6a + 2 - 5a - 3
6a - 5a + 2 - 3
a - 1

Answer 5

ok...

step 1) first you get ride of the () so the equation should look like this:

6a+2-5a+3

step 2) you go ahead and combine like terms for example

6a-5a and 2-3

so the equation should looke like this

a-1

so this is your answer a-1

Answer 6

(6a+2)-(5a+3)
6a+2-5a-3
a-1

pretty simple.
