Question

Subtract: (3b−2c)−(6c+2b)−(b+c) pls explain

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To subtract the given expressions, we must apply the distributive property and combine like terms.

First, let's simplify each part of the expression:

3b - 2c = 3b - 2c (no change)
6c + 2b = 2b + 6c (rearranged terms)
b + c = b + c (no change)

Now, let's subtract each of these simplified expressions:

(3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c)

= 3b - 2c - 6c - 2b - b - c

= (3b - 2b - b) - (2c + 6c + c)

= (3 - 2 - 1)b - (2 + 6 + 1)c

= 0b - 9c

= -9c

Therefore, the simplified expression is -9c.

To subtract the given expression:

(3b−2c)−(6c+2b)−(b+c)

We can start by applying the distributive property to the inner parentheses:

= 3b - 2c - 6c - 2b - b - c

Now, let's combine like terms. Terms with the same variable and exponent can be combined:

= (3b - 2b - b) + (-2c - 6c - c)

Simplifying further:

= 0b - 9c

Since any number multiplied by zero is zero, the coefficient of b becomes zero, resulting in:

= -9c

So, the final solution is -9c.

To subtract the given expression (3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c), we need to simplify the expression by combining like terms.

1. Start by distributing the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:
(3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c)
= 3b - 2c - 6c - 2b - b - c

2. Next, combine like terms. Group the terms with the same variables together:
(3b - 2b) + (b - 2c - 6c) - (b - c)
= b - 8c - b + c

3. Further simplify:
b - b - 8c + c
= 0 - 7c
= -7c

Therefore, the simplified expression is -7c.
