The simplest form that represents the difference is (2w-3).

Step-by-step explanation:

In this sum after w weeks subscription sold by me = 3w+4

and the subscription sold by my friend = 5w+1

so the difference between the numbers of my friend and me

⇒ (5w+1) - (3w+4)

⇒5w+1-3w-4

⇒2w-3

So the simplest form is (2w-3).
