I have problem with bracket:
My proble is this:
for example I have:
2x-2 and 5x-5
when I must supract 2x-2 with 5x-5

I must write them so:
2x-2-(5x-5)
or so:
2x-2-5x-5 ?
or this example:
2x with 5x-5

2x-(5x-5)
or
2x-5x-5

thx

mathmath333 · Answer

u should write it in brackets 
as this 
$2x-2-(5x-5)$

if bracket is simplied it changes to this

$2x-2-5x+5)$

misty1212 · Answer

i have to say "when I must supract 2x-2 with 5x-5 " doesn't mean much
you can subtract $5x-5$ FROM $2x-2$ or you can subtract $2x-2$ FROM $5x-5$

$$2x-2-5x+5$$
