Simplifying Algebraic Expression

Hi Sümeyye, let's solve this algebraic expression together step by step.

We are given the expression five x minus the quantity three x plus four.

Notice the minus sign sitting right in front of the parentheses. This means we must distribute that negative sign to every term inside.

Essentially, we are multiplying everything inside the bracket by negative one. So, positive three x becomes negative three x, and positive four becomes negative four.
