Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

-2c

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\frac{1}{8}(-8c+16)-\frac{1}{3}(6+3c)$

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

Using distributive property we get

$\frac{1}{8}(-8c)+\frac{1}{8}(16)-\frac{1}{3}(6)-\frac{1}{3}(3c)$

$-c+2-2-c$

On combining like terms we get

$(-c-c)+(2-2)$

$-2c+0$

$-2c$

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

Answer 2

$\frac{1}{8}(-8c+16) - \frac{1}{3}(6+3c)$

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!
