Subtract (8x – 2) – (5х – 7)

3x - 9

Step-by-step-explanation: To solve the expression (8x – 2) – (5х – 7) we will be using properties of operations. First, use the commutative and associative properties to move the values next to each other to combine like terms.

(8x – 2) – (5х – 7)

(8x-5x)+(-2-7)

3x-9

So, the subtracted answer is 3x - 9

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
