The final answer is \(-\frac{5}{4}z - \frac{11}{2}\).

Subtract: (3b−2c)−(6c+2b)−(b+c)

To simplify the expression \((3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c)\), follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the negative signs: \[ 3b - 2c - 6c - 2b - b - c \]

  2. Combine like terms:

    • For \(b\): \(3b - 2b - b = 0b\)
    • For \(c\): \(-2c - 6c - c = -9c\)

Putting it all together, we have: \[ 0b - 9c = -9c \]

So the final answer is: \(-9c\)
