Full solution

Q. Rewrite in simplest terms: (−2x−3y)−(−4x−2y) (-2 x-3 y)-(-4 x-2 y) \newlineAnswer:
  1. Distribute Negative Sign: Distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses.\newline(−2x−3y)−(−4x−2y)(-2x - 3y) - (-4x - 2y) becomes (−2x−3y)+(4x+2y)(-2x - 3y) + (4x + 2y) after distributing the negative sign.
  2. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.\newlineCombine the xx terms: −2x+4x=2x-2x + 4x = 2x.\newlineCombine the yy terms: −3y+2y=−y-3y + 2y = -y.
  3. Write Simplified Expression: Write the simplified expression.\newlineThe simplified expression is 2x−y2x - y.
