Question 52176: I have tried this problem in so many ways. My study guid for the placement exam says Alogebriac expression- compute and simplify.
(x-3)- (x-1)(x-1)
the answer is -6x+10 but I have no idea how they got that. Answer by rchill(405) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First expand the (x-1)(x-1) to . Now the equation becomes , which simplifies to . Now combining like terms gives us . The answer you provide of -6x+10 cannot be correct; are you sure you're looking at the correct problem/answer?
