Question

Rewrite subtraction as an equivalent addition expression.

5(x – 4) + 3x – 9x + 7

Answer 1

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: → a(b+c)=ab+ac

Expand the form equation.

`5(x-4)=5x-20`

`5x-20+3x-9x+7`

Then, simplify by equation or expand.

`5x-20+3x-9x+7=-x-13`

Final answer is: →
`\boxed{=-x-13}`

*The answer must have a negative sign.*

Hope this helps!

Thank you :)
