Simplify 5a − 8c + b + 3c −9a + 6b .(1 point)
To simplify the expression 5a − 8c + b + 3c −9a + 6b, we can combine like terms.
Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.
In this expression, the like terms are: 5a and -9a (variable a), -8c and 3c (variable c), b and 6b (variable b).
Combining the like terms, we get:
(5a - 9a) + (-8c + 3c) + (b + 6b)
Simplifying further:
-4a - 5c + 7b
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4a - 5c + 7b.
