Question

3. Find the difference between the two expressions.
(3/5x - 5y) - (4/5x + 2y

Answer 1

`^(-1)/_(5)x-7y`

Explanation:

Our equation is

`(^(3)/_(5)-5y)-(^(4)/_(5)+2y)`

now we distribute the - and we get

`^(3)/_(5)-5y-^(4)/_(5)-2y`

`Combine`
`like`
`terms`

and now we have
`^(-1)/_(5)x-7y`
