To subtract the expression \((2w + 3)\) from \((8w + 3)\), you can follow these steps:
-
Distribute the negative sign across the second expression: \[ (8w + 3) - (2w + 3) = (8w + 3) - 2w - 3 \]
-
Combine like terms: \[ 8w - 2w + 3 - 3 = 6w + 0 \]
-
Simplifying gives: \[ 6w \]
So, the result of the subtraction is: \[ 6w \]
