Answer: -2x + 3
Explanation:
Subtract like terms. But first, there is a negative in front of the parenthesis of (-6x+2), use the distributive property.
-(6x+2), multiply each number inside of the parenthesis by -1:
-1 * -6x + -1 * 2
6x - 2
Now remove the parenthesis and add (or subtract) like terms.
-8x + 5 + 6x - 2
-8x + 6x = -2x
5 - 2 = 3
-2x + 3
