Simplify (x + 6y) - (3x − 10y). If the final answer is written in the form Ax + By, what is the value of A?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Basically, combine like terms again. 
As @lgbasallote stated earlier, we must distribute the -1
so we get 6y+10y-x-3x
so its gonna be 16y-2x
or -2x+16

anonymous · Answer

x + 6y -3x +10y
-2x  + 16y
 Im learning from @lgbasallote as well

anonymous · Answer

you just have to remember to always look at common terms so just x with x and y with y u will get -2x+16y
A=-2 :)

anonymous · Answer

You are distributing the - sign to the (3x − 10y)
So its like saying your distributing -1
