Abigail AllenTo simplify ( (2a-3b)-(3a+5b)-a-8b ), you first distribute the negative sign inside the parentheses:
[ (2a - 3b) - (3a + 5b) - a - 8b = 2a - 3b - 3a - 5b - a - 8b ]
Next, combine like terms:
[ (2a - 3a - a) + (-3b - 5b - 8b) ]
[ = (2 - 3 - 1)a + (-3 - 5 - 8)b ]
[ = -2a - 16b ]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
