Question

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

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To subtract these expressions, you first need to distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses.

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

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

Now, combine like terms. Grouping similar terms together:

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

This simplifies to:

b - 9c - b

And finally:

- 9c

To subtract the expression (3b−2c)−(6c+2b)−(b+c), we need to distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:

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

Now, let's combine like terms:

Combine the "b" terms:
= 3b - 2b - b
= 0b
= 0

Combine the "c" terms:
= -2c - 6c - c
= -8c

So, the final result is:
(3b−2c)−(6c+2b)−(b+c) = 0 - 8c
= -8c.

To subtract the expression (3b−2c)−(6c+2b)−(b+c), you will want to simplify each part of the expression before subtracting it. Let me break down the steps for you:

Step 1: Distribute the negative sign to each term inside the second and third parentheses:
(3b - 2c) - 6c - 2b - b - c

Step 2: Combine like terms by combining coefficients (the numbers in front of the variables) with the same variables:
(3b - 2b - b) + (-2c - 6c - c)

Step 3: Simplify the coefficients:
(0b) + (-9c)

Step 4: Since the coefficient of b is 0, it disappears from the equation, leaving us with just -9c.

Therefore, the final expression is -9c.
