Problem 47
Question
Perform the indicated subtraction. $$5 \pi-2 \pi$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Therefore, the answer is \(3\pi\).
1Step 1: Identify Common Multiplicative Factors
Both terms in this subtraction problem, \(5 \pi\) and \(2 \pi\), are multiplied by \( \pi\). We can deal with the \( \pi\) symbol as a common factor.
2Step 2: Subtract the Coefficients and Leave the Common Factor
Next, subtract the coefficients of the two terms (the numbers in front of \( \pi\)). The difference between 5 and 2 is 3. Because they're both multiplied by \( \pi\), we keep \( \pi\) in the answer.
