Explanation:

Both expressions are the same. If you subtract 4 from 4, the result is zero.

Or you can remove the parentheses and process the arithmetic;
9v+5 -9v-5=9v-9v+5-5=0

To subtract (9v+5)-(9v+5), we can expand first and then simplify like terms.

Answer: 0

Explanation:

We are given this expression (9v+5)-(9v+5) and we are trying to find an answer to this.

First, we will expand the second bracket which is -(9v+5)
Remember the negative in front of the bracket represents -1.

Now we multiply -1 by all the numbers in the bracket, so we multiply -1 by 9v which is equal to -9v and -1 xx 5 which is -5.

-(9v+5) = -9v-5

Now that we have expanded the bracket, we have the expression:

9v+5-9v-5

We can put like terms together and simplify as much as we can.

9v-9v =0, and 5-5 = 0.

9v+5-9v-5=0
