Given the numerical expression:

 a + 2c − 5b − c + a − b

Simplify the given numerical expression.

Solution:

In order to simplify the given numerical expression, we combine similar terms.

=  a + 2c − 5b − c + a − b

= 2a - c - 6b

We cannot simplify further since the terms a, b and c must only be combine to its similar term, hence we have the final answer:

Final answer:

= 2a - c - 6b
