Open in App
Solution
We have
2x + (5x − 3y)
Since the '+' sign precedes the parentheses, we have to retain the sign of each term in the parentheses when we remove them.
= 2x + 5x - 3y
= 7x - 3y
2x + (5x − 3y)
Since the '+' sign precedes the parentheses, we have to retain the sign of each term in the parentheses when we remove them.
= 2x + 5x - 3y
= 7x - 3y
