Question

Combine like terms 13b-8b

Answer 1

5b

Since they both have the common variable of “b” you can combine them together. But since the 5 is negative you will have to subtract to get your answers so it’s basically like 13-5 but with the letter “b”

Answer 2

5b

Explanation:

13b-8b=b(13-8) = 5b
