Question

One linear expression is subtracted from a second linear expression and the difference is x-5. What is the difference when the second linear expression is subtracted from the first?

Answer 1

-x+5 I created two expressions when subtracted would give me x-5, then I subtracted the second expression from the first to give me -x+5. For Example, (2x-6)-(1x-1)= x-5 (1x-1)-(2x-6)= -x+5
