Question

Remove the parentheses from the following expression, and combine like terms: 3(ax + b2 – c) + 2

Answer 1

Hi, Eswoody01! :)

To remove the parenthesis, we must distribute them:

`3(ax + b^2 - c) + 2`

`3*ax+3*b^2-3*c + 2`
Simplify.

`3ax+3b^2-3c + 2`

This is the most you can simplify this expression.

Hope this helps.
