Answer 4

are you trying to simplify the equation?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

let me write it down and figure it out

Answer 8

alright thanks

Answer 9

6(a-b)-5(2a+4b)
distribute
(6xa)-(6xb)
(-5x2a)+(-5x4b)
you will get
6a-6b-10a-20b
add or subtract like terms
6a-10a=-4a
6b-20b=-14b

the simplified equation is:
-4a-14b

Answer 10

Thank You but if it was 6a+6b-10a-20 then what sign would i get for 6a and 10 a the + or the - thats where i get confused

Answer 11

basically you are just moving the ten over to a different spot. the negative sign before the ten goes with it, along with the a. same thing for the twenty. you make a separate equation with like terms but you bring the negative sign or subtraction sign over with it
