Simplify 5a−8c+b+3c−9a+6b
.(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(5a - 8c + b + 3c - 9a + 6b\), we can combine like terms:

1. Combine the \(a\) terms: \(5a - 9a = -4a\)
2. Combine the \(c\) terms: \(-8c + 3c = -5c\)
3. Combine the \(b\) terms: \(b + 6b = 7b\)

Now, putting it all together:

\[
-4a - 5c + 7b
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[
-4a + 7b - 5c
\]
