Question

simplify (3x-11y)-(17x+13y

Answer 1

3x - 11y -17x -13y
-24y-14x
-2(12y+7x)

Answer 2

Answer:

The simplified form of the given expression is -2(7x+12y)

Explanation:

We have been given the expression

$(3x-11y)-(17x+13y)$

On distributing the minus sign over the parenthesis, we get

$3x-11y-17x-13y$

Now, we group the like terms

$3x-17x-11y-13y$

On combining the like terms, we get

$-14x-24y$

Now, we can take -2 as GCF.

$-2(7x+12y)$

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is -2(7x+12y)
