Have a great day!

Answer 2

Answer: The required simplified expression is -2c.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to simplify the following expression :

`E=(1)/(8)(-8c+16)-(1)/(3)(6+3c)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

We will be using the following distributive property :

`a(b+c)=ab+ac.`

From expression (i), we get

`E\\\\\\=(1)/(8)(-8c+16)-(1)/(3)(6+3c)\\\\\\=(1)/(8)*(-8c)+(1)/(8)*16-(1)/(3)*6-(1)/(3)*3c\\\\=-c+2-2-c\\\\=-2c.`

Thus, the required simplified expression is -2c.
