Given expression: 8c + 6 - 3c - 2
In the given expression, Variables are : 8c, -3c
Constants : +6, -2
Arrange variable and constant together
8c + 6 -3c - 2 = 8c - 3c + 6 - 2
Simplify the variables together and constant term together:
8c + 6 -3c - 2 = (8-3)c + 6 - 2
8c + 6 -3c - 2 = 5c + 4
Answer: A) 5c + 4
