Subtract 4x-3 from x-7.

3 answers

To subtract \( 4x - 3 \) from \( x - 7 \), you can set up the expression as follows:

\[ (x - 7) - (4x - 3) \]

Now, distribute the negative sign through the second parenthesis:

\[ x - 7 - 4x + 3 \]

Next, combine like terms:

  • Combine \( x \) and \( -4x \): \[ x - 4x = -3x \]

  • Combine \( -7 \) and \( +3 \): \[ -7 + 3 = -4 \]

Putting it all together, you get:

\[ -3x - 4 \]

Thus, the result of subtracting \( 4x - 3 \) from \( x - 7 \) is:

\[ -3x - 4 \]

Ru sur?

Yes, I am sure!

Let's recheck the subtraction step by step:

  1. You want to subtract \( 4x - 3 \) from \( x - 7 \). This can be written as: \[ (x - 7) - (4x - 3) \]

  2. Distributing the negative sign through the parentheses: \[ x - 7 - 4x + 3 \]

  3. Now, combine like terms:

    • The \( x \) and \( -4x \) terms: \[ x - 4x = -3x \]
    • The constant terms \( -7 \) and \( +3 \): \[ -7 + 3 = -4 \]
  4. Putting it all together: \[ -3x - 4 \]

Thus, the final answer is indeed: \[ -3x - 4 \]
