Math Problem Statement

-(x + 3)

Solution

The expression you provided is (x+3)-(x + 3). This represents the negative of the quantity (x+3)(x + 3), which can be simplified by distributing the negative sign:

(x+3)=x3-(x + 3) = -x - 3

So, the simplified expression is x3-x - 3.

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What happens if we add another term to (x+3)-(x + 3)?
  2. How would you solve (x+3)=0-(x + 3) = 0?
  3. Can you factor out the negative sign in a more complex expression?
  4. What is the value of (x+3)-(x + 3) when x=2x = 2?
  5. How does this expression change if the exponent is involved?

Tip: Always distribute a negative sign carefully to all terms inside parentheses.
