Question

(2 points)
6b+4r
represents the total cost of the rice and beans Gabriel bought. If he returns 2 bags of beans and 1 bag of rice, the expression that represents the total cost after the return is (6b+4r)−(2b+r)
. Simplify the expression


__b+__ r

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((6b + 4r) - (2b + r)\), we can distribute the negative sign and combine like terms:

1. Start with the original expression:
\[
(6b + 4r) - (2b + r)
\]

2. Distribute the negative sign:
\[
6b + 4r - 2b - r
\]

3. Now, combine the like terms for \(b\) and \(r\):
- For \(b\): \(6b - 2b = 4b\)
- For \(r\): \(4r - r = 3r\)

Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:
\[
4b + 3r
\]

So the answer is:
\[
\_\_b + \_\_ r \Rightarrow 4b + 3r
\]
