Subtract (3b-2c)-(6c+2b)-(b+c) please

1 answer

To subtract the expression \((3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c)\), we will distribute the negative sign across each term in the parentheses and then combine like terms.

  1. Start with the original expression: \[ (3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c) \]

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

  3. Combine like terms:

    • Combine the \(b\) terms: \(3b - 2b - b = 0b\)
    • Combine the \(c\) terms: \(-2c - 6c - c = -9c\)

The expression simplifies to: \[ 0b - 9c \] Since \(0b\) is just 0, we can write the final result as: \[ -9c \]

Thus, the result of the subtraction is: \[ \boxed{-9c} \]
