Question

Simplify 26-18b+11(b-3)

Answer 1

$\large\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\text{26 - 18b + 11 ( b - 3)}$

$\large\text{First, you have to \bf{\underline{DISTRIBUTE}}}$ $\text{(The formula is: a ( b + c) = a(b) + a(c)= ab + ac)}$

$\large\text{26 - 18b + 11(b) + 11 (-3)) }$

$\large\text{11(b) = 11b}$

$\large\text{11(-3) = -33}$

$\large\text{Our new equation: 26 - 18b + 11b - 33}$

$\large\text{COMBINE your like terms}$

$\large\text{\underline{26} - \bf{18b} + \bf{11b}}\large\text{ - }\large\text{\underline {33}}}$

$\large\text{\underline{26 - 33 = -7}}$

$\large\text{\bf{-18b + 11b = -7b}}$

$\bf{Answer: -7b - 7}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Thus your answer is: \boxed{\large\text{\bf{-7b - 7}}}}}}\large\checkmark$

$\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-7b-7

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to distribute 11 throughout the parentheses.

$26-18b+11(b-3)\\26-18b+11b-33$

Now we can combine like terms. (-18b, 11b, -33, 26)

$-18b+ 11b$  and $-33+26$

$-7b$$-7$

This is your simplified answer for your expression.

-7b-7
