Which is equivalent to (3x + 4) – (4x – 2)?

a. 7x – 2
b. -x + 6
c. -x – 2
d. 7x + 6

-x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

3x+4−(4x−2)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=3x+4+−1(4x−2)

=3x+4+−1(4x)+(−1)(−2)

=3x+4+−4x+2

Combine Like Terms:

=3x+4+−4x+2

=(3x+−4x)+(4+2)

=−x+6

=−x+6

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36

step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
