−x+6
negative x plus 6
−x−4
negative x minus 4
3x+6
To simplify the expression (x+1)−(−2x−5), we can distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the second parentheses. This gives us:
(x+1)+2x+5
Now, we can combine like terms:
x+1+2x+5
This simplifies to:
3x+6
Therefore, the simplified expression is 3x+6.
