Question

(14x + 6) -(8x -3) Remove the parentheses and distribute the negative sign to both terms in the second expression. The linear expression becomes

Answer 1

To remove the parentheses and distribute the negative sign to both terms in the second expression, we start with the original expression:

\[
(14x + 6) - (8x - 3)
\]

Now, distribute the negative sign to the terms in the second expression:

\[
14x + 6 - 8x + 3
\]

Next, combine the like terms:

\[
(14x - 8x) + (6 + 3) = 6x + 9
\]

So, the linear expression becomes:

\[
6x + 9
\]
