Answer :
Answer:
-5x - 50
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x - 42 - 6) - (5x + 2x + 2)
collect like terms
(2x - 48) - (7x + 2)
take away the parentheses because you cant do any more
2x - 48 - 7x - 2
(7x - 2) is changed to -7x - 2 because there is a negative sign in front
collect like terms again
-5x - 50
Answer:
5 x - 50
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract the numbers (2−42−6)−1(5+2+2)=
(2−48)−1(5+2+2)
2. combine like terms (2−48)−1(5+2+2)=
(2−48)−1(7+2)
3. Distribute (2−48)−1(7+2)=
(2−48)−7−2
4. Eliminate redundant parentheses (2−48)−7−2=
2−48−7−2
5. subtract the numbers 2−48−7−2=
2−50−7
6. combine like terms 2−50−7=
−5−50
7. simplify 5 x - 50
