6a-(4a+3)...Since the negative sign is before (4a+3) you must distribute it. Example a-(b+c)= a-b-c

OpenStudy (phi):

6a - (4a+3) means think of the parens as a package with "stuff" in it. when we subtract tthe "package" we take away everything inside it. in other words: 6a -4a -3 notice you have 6 a's take away 4 a's. How many a's do you have ?
