Beyond the Answer
To simplify the expression \( 9x - [5x - (2x - 3y)] - 8y \), we start by simplifying inside the brackets: First, simplify \( 2x - 3y \): \[ - (2x - 3y) = -2x + 3y \] Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ 9x - [5x - 2x + 3y] - 8y \] Now simplify \( 5x - 2x + 3y \): \[ 5x - 2x = 3x \] So, we have: \[ 9x - [3x + 3y] - 8y \] Next, simplify: \[ - [3x + 3y] = -3x - 3y \] Substituting it all back gives: \[ 9x - 3x - 3y - 8y \] Combine like terms: \[ (9x - 3x) + (-3y - 8y) = 6x - 11y \] So the final simplified expression is: \[ 6x - 11y \] A. The result is \( 6x - 11y \)
