Question

Simplify the expression.
8b^2 c^3 +6b^3 c^2 -4b^3 c^2 =

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 8b^2 c^3 + 6b^3 c^2 - 4b^3 c^2 \), first combine the like terms.

The terms \( 6b^3 c^2 \) and \( -4b^3 c^2 \) are like terms.

So, simplify \( 6b^3 c^2 - 4b^3 c^2 \):

\[
6b^3 c^2 - 4b^3 c^2 = (6 - 4)b^3 c^2 = 2b^3 c^2
\]

Now, substitute this back into the expression:

\[
8b^2 c^3 + 2b^3 c^2
\]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[
8b^2 c^3 + 2b^3 c^2
\]

This is the final simplified form of the expression.
