Question

How do I simplify (k+3)-(3k-5)?

Accepted Answer

To simplify the expression (k+3)-(3k-5) , first we need to remove the parenthesis:
= (k + 3) - (3k-5)  
= k + 3 - 3k + 5
Combine like terms.
= 3 + 5 + k - 3k
= 8 - 2k
Check if the resulting equation is factorable. In this case, it is factorable by 2. Factor out 2.
= 2(4-k)    -> answer

QUESTION:-
How do I simplify (k+3)-(3k-5)?

SOLUTION:-
   (k+3) - (3k-5)
In order to solve this problem; we open up the brackets by multiplying each component of the second bracket with the minus sign:
= k + 3 -3k + 5
= k - 3k + 3 + 5
= -2k + 8 
Or  there is yet another way that this question can be further simplified;
= 2 (-k + 4) OR  = -2 (k - 4)
Hence Solved

Answer

(k + 3) - (3k - 5)
To simplify this we can follow the rule of BODMAS or PEMDAS. First we have to remove the brackets,
k + 3 - 3k + 5
- 2k + 8
It cannot be simplified further so we factor out the above,
 - 2k + 8
- 2(k - 4) Answer.

Answer

(k+3)-(3k-5)
distribute negative
k+3-3k+5  
combine like terms
-2k+8 factor out
-2(k-4)

Answer

(k+3)-(3k-5)
the answer would be -2k+8 because all you do is subtract the ones with k and the regular numbers following your negative rules. 
you can simplify this to 2(-k+4)

Answer

(k+3)-(3k-5)
k+3-3k+5   combine like terms
k-3k=-2k
3+5=8
-2k+8  is the answer or find the GCF
-2(k-4)

Answer

Simplify (k+3) - (3k - 5) .
Equivalent to:  1(k+3) -1(3k-5)
Use the distributive property:
k + 3 -3k + 5
k-3k + 3 + 5
 -2k +8
or -2(k+4)
The solution is -2k+8 or -2(k+4) .

Answer

To simplify (k+3)-(3k-5) 
Multiply -1  by each term inside the parentheses. k+3+5-3k  Since k  and -3k  are like terms, add -3k  to k to get -2k . -2k+3+5 Add 5  to 3  to get 8 . -2k+8  Reorder the polynomial -2k+8  alphabetically from left to right, starting with the highest order term. 8-2k
