Subtract 12(z+4)−3(14z+1) . Use fractions in final form.

To subtract the expressions, distribute each term in both parentheses:

12(z+4) = 12z + 12(4) = 12z + 48

3(14z+1) = 3(14z) + 3(1) = 42z + 3

Now, subtract the two expressions:

12z + 48 - (42z + 3) = 12z + 48 - 42z - 3 = -30z +45

Therefore, the final answer in fraction form is -30z + 45.

Subtract: (3b−2c)−(6c+2b)−(b+c)

To subtract the expressions, let's simplify each section separately:

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

Now, let's subtract the expressions:

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

First, distribute the negative sign before the parentheses:

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

Next, combine like terms:

= (3b - 2b - b) + (-2c - 6c - c)
= 0b - 9c

Since 0b equals 0, the final answer is -9c.

What is the expression 4+8(3x−2)−7x when simplified? Apply the order of operations and the commutative and distributive properties.can you also add all the steps but rlly simple

Sure! Let's simplify the expression step by step:

Step 1: Distribute the 8 to the terms inside the parentheses:
8 * 3x = 24x
8 * (-2) = -16
So, the expression becomes: 4 + 24x - 16 - 7x

Step 2: Combine like terms:
24x - 7x = 17x
(4 - 16) = -12
Therefore, the expression simplifies to: 17x - 12.

what did this * mean?

Apologies for the confusion. The asterisk (*) symbol is commonly used to represent multiplication in mathematical expressions. So, when I wrote 8 * 3x, I meant 8 multiplied by 3x. Similarly, when I wrote 8 * (-2), I meant 8 multiplied by -2.
