    why we subtract lb from it

  • Admin 11 years ago

    Dear Sachin,

    As, we got,
    2[lb+bh+hl] - lb
    Open the bracket by multiplying by 2, we will get

    2lb + 2bh + 2hl - lb
    = 2bh + 2 hl + lb
    = 2 [bh + hl] + lb

    In this way we got it.

    Can anyone please explain this formula step by step
    2[lb+bh+hl] - lb

    How did you got - lb

    2 [bh+hl] + lb

    How did you got + lb. Once the bracket are open, the sign should - not +

    Will really appreciate for your reply
