Simplify (3f-2g)-(18g+11f)

$(3 f - 2 g) - (18 g + 11 f)$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Apply the distributive property.

$3 f - 2 g - (18 g) - (11 f)$

Multiply $18$ by $- 1$ .

$3 f - 2 g - 18 g - (11 f)$

Multiply $11$ by $- 1$ .

$3 f - 2 g - 18 g - 11 f$

$3 f - 2 g - 18 g - 11 f$

Step 2

Simplify by adding terms.

Subtract $11 f$ from $3 f$ .

$- 8 f - 2 g - 18 g$

Subtract $18 g$ from $- 2 g$ .

$- 8 f - 20 g$

$- 8 f - 20 g$
