answered
To subtract (2u - 7y) from (7u + 2y), we can distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the second parentheses:
-(7u + 2y) = -7u - 2y
Then we can combine like terms:
(2u - 7y) - (7u + 2y) = 2u - 7y - 7u - 2y
Combining like terms, we have:
= (2u - 7u) + (-7y - 2y)
= -5u - 9y
So, the subtraction of (2u - 7y) from (7u + 2y) is -5u - 9y.
