we have been asked to simplify

[tex] (3x-5)-(5x + 1) [/tex]

To Simplify this, we will first open the parenthesis, as below

[tex] (3x-5)-(5x + 1)=3x-5-5x-1\\
\\
\text{take the like terms together and simplify we get}\\
\\
(3x-5)-(5x + 1)=3x-5x-5-1\\
\\
(3x-5)-(5x + 1)=-2x-6\\
\\

[/tex]

Hence the simplified expression is -2x-6
