See explanation.

Work Step by Step

Rewrite sum \[ \sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(-b_{k}+a_{k}\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(a_{k}+\left(-b_{k}\right)\right) \] Using theorem 5.4.1 $\sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(-b_{k}+a_{k}\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{n} a_{k}+\sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(-b_{k}\right)$ Using theorem 5.4.1 (a) with $c=-1$ (b) $\sum_{k=1}^{n}\left(-b_{k}+a_{k}\right)=-\sum_{k=1}^{n} b_{k}+\sum_{k=1}^{n} a_{k}$
