Answer:

[tex]-3m-2k[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given to simplify : 3k - (2m + 5K) - m

Solution :

[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:-\left(a+b\right)=-a-b[/tex]

[tex]-\left(2m+5k\right)=-2m-5k[/tex]

[tex]=3k-2m-5k-m[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Group\;like\;terms}[/tex]

[tex]=-2m-m+3k-5k[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Group\;like\;terms}[/tex]

[tex]=-3m+3k-5k[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Group\;like\;terms}[/tex]

[tex]=-3m-2k[/tex]

hello!

Use the distributive property:-

-(2m+5k) = -2m-5k [tex]\checkmark[/tex]

[tex]\rule{270}{1}[/tex]

Let's simplify this expression by combining like terms:-

[tex]\bigstar[/tex] The like terms are:-

3k, -5k

and

-2m, -m

[tex]\bigstar{[/tex] Combine Like terms:-

3k-5k=-2k

-2m-m=-3m

Hence, we have:-

[tex]\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{-2k-3m}}[/tex]
