Question

Can someone help me with this?


(4a+3b)-(-2a-3b)

Answer 1

what are we solving for? just simplifying?

Answer 2

would it look like this?

4a+3b-2a-3b

Answer 3

nope

when you have -(-2a-3b) you have to distribute the negative side throughout the paranthesis...

-(-2a-3b) == +(2a +3b)

so you end up with 4a+3b+2a+3b

hope this helps you understand!

Answer 4

6a^2 + 6b^2

Answer 5
