Question 173395
{{{(1/3)(4x+4) - (2/3)(5x-3)}}}
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
Factor out {{{(1/3)}}}

{{{(1/3)(matrix(3,1,"",(4x+4)-2(5x-3),""))}}}

Remove the inner parentheses:

{{{(1/3)(matrix(3,1,"",4x+4-10x+6,""))}}}

Collect like terms:

{{{(1/3)(matrix(3,1,"",-6x+10,""))}}}

Put the {{{-6x+10}}} over {{{1}}}

{{{(1/3)(matrix(1,1,(-6x+10)/1))}}}

Multiply numerators and denominators:

{{{matrix(1,1,1*(-6x+10)/(3*1))}}}

Simplify

{{{(-6x+10)/3}}}

You can leave it like that or you can
make it a little bit shorter by writing
the terms in the top so that the negative 
term comes second:

{{{(10-6x)/3}}}
