Question

Subtract.
(6n+1)–(2n–2)

Answer 1

To subtract (6n+1) - (2n-2), we need to distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the second parentheses. This will change the sign of each term inside the second parentheses.

(6n+1) - (2n-2) = 6n + 1 - 2n + 2

Now, combine like terms:

= (6n - 2n) + (1 + 2)

= 4n + 3

Thus, the simplified subtraction expression is 4n + 3.
