(5a - 7b) - (2a - 5b)

Asked by ezraalindao

Answer (1)

Answer:To simplify the expression \((5a - 7b) - (2a - 5b)\), start by distributing the negative sign through the second set of parentheses: \[ = 5a - 7b - 2a + 5b \] Next, combine like terms: - Combine the \(a\) terms: \(5a - 2a = 3a\) - Combine the \(b\) terms: \(-7b + 5b = -2b\) Therefore, the simplified expression is: \[ 3a - 2b \]
