Question

Remove the parentheses from the following expression and combine like terms. 3(ax + b2 - c) + 2

Answer 1

To remove the parentheses, you just distribute.
So, it will become 3ax + 3b^2 - 3c +2. I don't think there is any like term in this expression.

Answer 2

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

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
`3(ax+b^2-c)+2`. We are asked to remove the parenthesis and combine like terms for our given expression.

Using distributive property
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`, we will get:

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

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

We can see that our given expression don't have like terms, therefore, our expression would be
`3ax+3b^2-3c+2`.
