name: mitchell fenelon sacstil per: 2nd
(1) - ( 8x -2 )
(2) - ( 9x -1 )
(3) - ( 10x -4 )
(4) - ( -4x +12 )
(5) ( -6x -2 ) - ( -7x -1 )
(6) ( 7x -8 ) - ( 5x +9 )
(7) ( 12x +6 ) - ( 6x +6 )
(8) ( -9x +9 ) - ( 11x -9 )

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the negative sign

$-(8x - 2) = -8x + 2$

Step2: Distribute the negative sign

$-(9x - 1) = -9x + 1$

Step3: Distribute the negative sign

$-(10x - 4) = -10x + 4$

Step4: Distribute the negative sign

$-(-4x + 12) = 4x - 12$

Step5: Distribute negatives, combine like terms

$(-6x - 2) - (-7x - 1) = -6x -2 +7x +1 = x -1$

Step6: Distribute negative, combine like terms

$(7x - 8) - (5x +9) = 7x -8 -5x -9 = 2x -17$

Step7: Distribute negative, combine like terms

$(12x +6) - (6x +6) = 12x +6 -6x -6 = 6x$

Step8: Distribute negative, combine like terms

$(-9x +9) - (11x -9) = -9x +9 -11x +9 = -20x +18$

Answer:

1. $\boldsymbol{-8x + 2}$
2. $\boldsymbol{-9x + 1}$
3. $\boldsymbol{-10x + 4}$
4. $\boldsymbol{4x - 12}$
5. $\boldsymbol{x - 1}$
6. $\boldsymbol{2x - 17}$
7. $\boldsymbol{6x}$
8. $\boldsymbol{-20x + 18}$
