Question

$$6 a - 5 x - ( 2 x - 3 a )$$

Evaluate

$9a-7x$

Solution Steps

To find the opposite of $2x-3a$, find the opposite of each term.

$$6a-5x-2x-\left(-3a\right)$$

The opposite of $-3a$ is $3a$.

$$6a-5x-2x+3a$$

Combine $-5x$ and $-2x$ to get $-7x$.

$$6a-7x+3a$$

Combine $6a$ and $3a$ to get $9a$.

$$9a-7x$$
