Simplify the expression. (4x + 8y) - (11x -2y +7)

Question

it is a hard Question and I cannot answer it

Answer 1

Well, it is not a question, so there is not an answer.

The direction is to "simplify," meaning rewrite with as few symbols as possible

(4x + 8y) - (11x - 2y + 7)

4x + 8y - 11x + 2y - 7

-7x + 10y - 7
