Question

-(5a-6b)-(7b+3a)+(-8a+4b)

Answer 1

-5a+6b-7b-3a-8a+4b= -16a+3b

Answer 2

To simplify the expression -(5a-6b)-(7b+3a)+(-8a+4b), you can start by distributing the negative sign through each of the terms inside the parentheses:

-1*(5a-6b) - 1*(7b+3a) - 1*(-8a+4b)

Now, distribute the negative sign:

-5a + 6b - 7b - 3a + 8a - 4b

Next, combine like terms:

(-5a - 3a + 8a) + (6b - 7b - 4b)

Combine the "a" terms and the "b" terms separately:

(0a) + (-5b)

Since 0a is simply 0, the simplified expression is:

-5b

So, -(5a-6b)-(7b+3a)+(-8a+4b) simplifies to:

-5b
