What is the difference of the expression below? (12f-8g+3h) - (4f - g + 5h)

Must show step by step work.

The difference of (12f - 8g + 3h) - (4f - g + 5h) is 8f - 7g - 2h

Solution:

From question given that the expression is

(12f - 8g + 3h) - (4f - g + 5h)

We have to find the difference of both the expressions.

By removing the parenthesis the above equation becomes,

12f - 8g + 3h - 4f + g - 5h

Separate the terms of f, g and h in above equation,

12f - 4f - 8g + g + 3h - 5h

On simplifying the above expression,

8f - 7g - 2h

Hence difference of (12f - 8g + 3h) - (4f - g + 5h) is 8f - 7g - 2h
