I need help! What is (-x+3)-(x-5)? Please show work. No need to explain.
\((-x+3) - (x-5) = (-x+3) -x - (-5)\\\\= -x + 3 -x + 5 = -x -x + 3 + 5\\\\=\boxed{\bf{-2x + 8 = 8 -2x}}\)
The final answer isĀ -2x + 8.
\((-x+3)-(x-5)\)
Distribute the negative sign inside (x-5)
\((-x+3)-x+5\)
Remove the other parenthesis
\(-x+3-x+5\)
Add like terms
\(-2x + 8\)
