HELP PLEASE!! Identify Structure What linear expression would you need to subtract from (5x+3) to have a difference of −x ?

Answer :

Answer:

Expression that is to be deducted will be (6x + 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the linear expression that is to be subtracted from the given expression (5x + 3) is (ax + b).

After subtracting (ax + b) from (5x + 3) the remainder is (-x)

(5x + 3) - (ax + b) = -x

(5x - ax) + (3 - b) = -x

(5 - a)x + (3 - b) = -x

By comparing coefficients,

(5 - a) = -1

a = 5 + 1

a = 6

(3 - b) = 0

b = 3

Therefore, expression that is to be deducted from (5x + 3) will be (6x + 3).
