Q. If -4x + 5y is subtracted from 3x + 2y then the answer will be:
(A) 3x + 6y
(B) 2x + 5y
(C) 7x – 3y
(D) x + 3y
Bonus Solution:
To solve this, we need to subtract −4x+5y from 3x+2y
The expression can be written as:
(3x+2y) − (−4x+5y)
When subtracting, we distribute the negative sign to the terms in the second set of parentheses:
=3x + 2y + 4x − 5y
Now, combine like terms:
= (3x+4x) + (2y−5y) = 7x − 3y
