Hi, I'm in 7th grade and I'm about to fail Mathematics. Please help me...
2x - 5x =


Sagot :

i beliebe 3×=0

ao the answer should be x/0

Answer:

-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of where the terms are placed definitely matter for subtraction. 5x-2x is 3x, but because the smaller number is first, we've gone into the negatives. Think of it like this:

2x - 5x

-2x   -2x

__    __

0      -3x

Because we still have the - in front of the 3, it is a negative 3.

Hope this helps!
