Question 702918: with the expression: 4-6b-8-3b, I understand the inverse process of making this an addition problem [4+(-6b)+(-8)+(-3b)] I know to group the variables, but the end of the process of simplifying is -4-9b. I don't understand how -4+(-9b) becomes -4-9b Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Why make it an addition problem?
4-6b-8-3b combine the b terms
4-8-9b add the integers.
-4-9b ans.
In your solution:
+(-9b) [a plus times a minus equals a minus.]
