Chapter 1: Problem 55

Simplify each algebraic expression. $$-7 b+10+(-b)+(-6)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The simplified expression is \(-8b + 4\).

Step by step solution

01

Group like terms

Group the similar terms together, in this case, the terms with \(b\) and the constants. Therefore, the expression becomes \((-7b - b) + (10 - 6)\).
02

Simplify the grouped terms

Simplify each of the groupings. Subtract the coefficients for the \(b\) terms and subtract the constant terms. This should give: \(-8b + 4\).
03

Write down the simplified expression

The simplified version of the original algebraic expression is \(-8b + 4\).
