Question

1/8(-8c+16)-1/3(6+3c)

Answer 1

`(1)/(8)(-8c+16) - (1)/(3)(6+3c)`

This may look scary, but all you have to do is distribute, first:

`(-c+2)-(2+c)`

Now it's much easier (remember to distribute the negative):

`-c+2-2-c = -2c`

So, the entire thing simplifies to -2c. NEAT!

Answer 2

-2c

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(1)/(8)(-8c+16)-(1)/(3)(6+3c)`

We need to find the simplified form of the given expression.

Using distributive property we get

`(1)/(8)(-8c)+(1)/(8)(16)-(1)/(3)(6)-(1)/(3)(3c)`

`-c+2-2-c`

On combining like terms we get

`(-c-c)+(2-2)`

`-2c+0`

`-2c`

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression is -2c.
