Try to solve the abovementioned equation

Answer 13

Start with:

(4x − 6) − (3x + 6)

Step 1: Get rid of the first set of parentheses because they are unnecessary.

= 4x − 6 − (3x + 6)

Step 2: To get rid of the second set of parentheses, the negative sign changes every sign inside the parentheses.

= 4x − 6 − 3x - 6

Step 3: Use the commutative and associative properties to rearrange the expression moving like terms together.

= 4x - 3x - 6 - 6

Now you can definitely finish. Combine the x terms and combine the numbers.
