To subtract these expressions, we need to distribute the negative sign to each term within the parentheses.
By doing this, we obtain:
(3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c) = 3b - 2c - 6c - 2b - b - c.
Next, we can combine like terms by adding or subtracting the coefficients of the same variable:
3b - 2b - b - 2c - 6c - c = (3b - 2b - b) + (-2c - 6c - c).
This simplifies to:
= 0b - 9c.
Since any term multiplied by 0 is equal to 0, the result is simply:
0 - 9c = -9c.
Therefore, the expression (3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c) is equal to -9c.
Subtract: (3b−2c)−(6c+2b)−(b+c) .(1 point)
