(y+6)–(y+2)

1 answer

When simplifying the expression (y+6) - (y+2), we can distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses:

(y+6) - (y+2) = y + 6 - y - 2

Next, we can combine like terms:

y - y + 6 - 2 = (y - y) + (6 - 2)

Since y - y equals 0, we can simplify further:

0 + 4 = 4

Therefore, (y+6) - (y+2) equals 4.
