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
