To simplify the expression \( 4b + 3c - 2b + 7c \), we can combine like terms:

  1. Combine the terms with \( b \): \[ 4b - 2b = 2b \]

  2. Combine the terms with \( c \): \[ 3c + 7c = 10c \]

Putting it all together, we get: \[ 2b + 10c \]

So the simplified expression is \( 2b + 10c \).

The correct response is: 2b + 10c
