Distribute negative sign: We have the expression (6j+5)−(2j+4). The first step is to distribute the negative sign across the terms in the second parentheses.(6j+5)−(2j+4)=6j+5−2j−4
Combine like terms: Now, we combine like terms. The terms with j can be combined, and the constant terms can be combined.6j−2j+5−4=(6j−2j)+(5−4)=4j+1
