Question

What is the simplified form of this expression? (8x − 7) + (-2x − 9) − (4x − 3)

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: 2x -13

Explanation:

Simplified (8x − 7) + (-2x − 9) − (4x − 3)

8x - 7 - 2x - 9 - 4x + 3

Simplified like terms 8x - 2x - 4x - 7 - 9 + 3

2x -13

Answer 2

The simplified form is
`2 x-13`

Given:

`(8 x-7)+(-2 x-9)-(4 x-3)`

Explanation:

From question, we need to find the simplified form of the given expression which means we need to make the expression more understandable.

The expression contains ‘x’ which is a variable whose values will change according to the set of given conditions. The variable can be symbols or letters. The values of the variable will be calculated with the value of the constants whose value never changes with the problem.

Now, we need to multiply the signs within the brackets,

`\Rightarrow 8 x-7-2 x-9-4 x+3`

Now, on adding and subtracting,

`\therefore 2 x-13`
