Question

Simplify the algebraic expressions by removing grouping symbols.

3x + 2y – {x – (2y – 3)}

Answer 1

Given 3x + 2y – {x – (2y – 3)}

First, we have to remove the parentheses. Then, we have to remove the braces.

Then we get,

= 3x + 2y – {x – 2y + 3}

= 3x + 2y – x + 2y – 3

On simplifying, we get

= 2x + 4y – 3
