Subtract $$ 3 x-6 y $$ from $$ 4 x+8 y $$

Question

1. Write down the original expression:

$$
   (4x + 8y) - (3x - 6y)
   $$

2. Distribute the minus sign to the second group:

$$
   4x + 8y - 3x + 6y
   $$

3. Combine like terms by grouping $$ x $$ terms and $$ y $$ terms:

$$
   (4x - 3x) + (8y + 6y)
   $$

4. Simplify each group:

$$
   x + 14y
   $$

Thus, the result is:

$$
x + 14y
$$
The result is $$ x + 14y $$.

Subtract \( 3 x-6 y \) from \( 4 x+8 y \)
