Your answer is B) 2c^3 because since they are both cubed, the subtract normally.

Answer:

b) 2c^3

Explanation:

The expression may be simplified by factorizing the variable to separate it from the numbers.

The numbers are then simplified with the result of the simplification multiplied by the separated variable.

10c^3 - 8c^3 = c^3(10 - 8)

= c^3 (2)

= 2c^3
