To simplify the expression \( (3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c) \), we can start by distributing the negative sign across the terms in the parentheses.
-
Rewrite the expression: \[ (3b - 2c) - (6c + 2b) - (b + c) \]
-
Distribute the negative signs: \[ = 3b - 2c - 6c - 2b - b - c \]
-
Combine like terms:
- For \( b \) terms: \( 3b - 2b - b = 0b \)
- For \( c \) terms: \( -2c - 6c - c = -9c \)
-
Put it all together: \[ 0b - 9c = -9c \]
Thus, the final result is: \[ \boxed{-9c} \]
