Question 760091: The difference between 4 times a number and 2, subtracted from 2 less than that number. If anyone can help with this, it is driving me crazy. Thanks up front. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The difference between 4 times a number and 2, subtracted from
2 less than that number.
:
(n-2) - (4n-2)
removing brackets changes the signs
n - 2 - 4n + 2
Combine like terms, resulting in:
n - 4n - 2 + 2 = -3n
