Question

or
Subtract.
(7a+5)–(5a+1)

Answer 1

To subtract the expression \((5a + 1)\) from \((7a + 5)\), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the negative sign to the second expression:
\[
(7a + 5) - (5a + 1) = (7a + 5) - 5a - 1
\]

2. Combine like terms:
- For the \(a\) terms: \(7a - 5a = 2a\)
- For the constant terms: \(5 - 1 = 4\)

3. Write the final result:
\[
2a + 4
\]

So, the result of \((7a + 5) - (5a + 1)\) is \(2a + 4\).
