To subtract (2u−7y)−(7u+2y), we first distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:
-(2u−7y) = -2u+7y
-(7u+2y) = -7u-2y
Now we can combine like terms:
(2u−7y)−(7u+2y) = 2u-7y-7u-2y
Combining like terms, we get:
= (2u-7u) + (-7y-2y)
= -5u -9y
Therefore, the subtracted expression is -5u -9y.
Subtract: (2u−7y)−(7u+2y) ( 2 − 7 ) − ( 7 + 2 ) .(1 point) Responses −5u−9y − 5 − 9 negative 5 u minus 9 y 5u−9y 5 − 9 5 u minus 9 y −5u−5y − 5 − 5 negative 5 u minus 5 y 5u−5y 5 − 5 5 u minus 5 y
