The argument is valid by the law of detachment.
All you have to do is combine like terms. 2c and (-c) are like terms (-5b) and (-b) are like terms and a is a term. So, 2c combined with (-c) is C. (-5b) and (-b) combined is (-6b). Since a doesnt need to be combined with anything, you leave it as it is so your answer will then be c - 6b + a (this is the answer assuming that there is a + in front of the a. If there is a - sign, then just change your +a to -a at the end
Answer:
I think its aas
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y= - 4x+18
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: y=mx+b
***remember: b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.
m=
3= x1
2= x2
6= y1
10=y2
m=
= 
= -4
m=-4
Now we have y=-4x+b , so let's find b.
You can use either (x,y) such as (3,6) or (2,10) point you want..the answer will be the same:
(3,6). y=mx+b or 6=-4 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-4)(3). b=18.
(2,10). y=mx+b or 10=-4 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=10-(-4)(2). b=18.
Equation of the line: y=-4x+18
A. -(a+5)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(a+5) * -1 = a+5
B. -(-x+31)
Apply the distributive property:
-(-x+31) becomes (- -x +31) which simplifies to (x+31)
multiply that by -1 to get -x+31
C. -(4x+12)
Because the negative sign is outside the parenthesis, multiplying by -1 just removes the negative sign:
-(4x+12) * -1 = 4x+12
