(6h + 1)-(9h + 4)
explain
To subtract (6h + 1) from (9h + 4), we need to distribute the negative sign across the parentheses that hold (6h + 1):
(9h + 4) - 6h - 1
Now we can combine like terms:
3h + 3
Therefore, (6h + 1) - (9h + 4) = 3h + 3.
To simplify the expression (6h + 1) - (9h + 4), we need to distribute the negative sign inside the second parentheses. This can be done by changing the signs of the terms inside the second parentheses.
So the expression becomes:
6h + 1 - 9h - 4
Next, we can combine like terms. In this case, the like terms are the ones with 'h' and the constant terms:
(6h - 9h) + (1 - 4)
Combining 'h' terms:
-3h + (1 - 4)
Simplifying the constant terms:
-3h - 3
So the final simplified expression is -3h - 3.
