how do you rewrite the difference as a sum
---
Note: You can ALWAYS put a plus sign in front of a number
and not really change it.
---
Example:
3-5 = 3+(-5) = -2
-------------------------
8-2x = 8+(-2x)
-------------------------
2xy-6yz = 2xy + (-6yz)
--------------------------
6a(square root)2 b-12b(square root)2
--
6a*sqrt(2)b + (-12b*sqrt(2))
