Subtract: (2u−7y)−(7u+2y) .(1 point)

Answer 1

To subtract (2u - 7y) from (7u + 2y), we can distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the second parentheses:

-(7u + 2y) = -7u - 2y

Then we can combine like terms:

(2u - 7y) - (7u + 2y) = 2u - 7y - 7u - 2y

Combining like terms, we have:

= (2u - 7u) + (-7y - 2y)
= -5u - 9y

So, the subtraction of (2u - 7y) from (7u + 2y) is -5u - 9y.
