Question

How do I Simplify 5t + (t - 3) - [(7t + 5) - (8 - 3t)].

Answer 1

first distribute the negative here
- (8 - 3t)

the distribute the negative in the front
- [(7t + 5) - (8 - 3t)]

and just add like terms :)

Answer 2

whatever you get from distributing the negative from the first part, replace it in to - [(7t + 5) - (8 - 3t)] before distributing the other negative

distributing the negative opens up the parenthesis :)
