Hey
Emily070505097,
Lets solve your problem step by step.
[tex]
(-9.6x+7)-(7.3x-9)
[/tex]
To solve the problem we have to follow the PEMDAS order of operations.
[tex]\left(-9.6x+7\right)-\left(7.3x-9\right)[/tex]
First, we have to remove the parenthesis.
⇒ [tex]-9.6x+7-\left(7.3x-9\right)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]-9.6x+7-7.3x+9[/tex]
Now we have to group like terms
⇒ [tex]-9.6x-7.3x+7+9[/tex]
Next we have to add similar elements
⇒ [tex]-16.9x+7+9[/tex]
⇒ [tex]-16.9x+16[/tex]
Hope this helps,
