Question 214673
{{{(6x-5y)-(8x+2y)}}}
Multiply through the -1:
{{{6x-5y-8x-2y}}}
Combine like terms:
{{{highlight(-2x-7y)}}}
----------------------
{{{9(x+1)-5(x+1)}}}
{{{9x+9-5x-5}}}
{{{4x+4}}}
You can factor this:
{{{highlight(4(x+1))}}}
----------------------
{{{4x-3(x-4)+6(x-4)}}}
{{{4x-3x+12+6x-24}}}
{{{highlight(7x-12)}}}
