Question

Subtract:
(v) 5a−3b+2c from 4a – b –2c

Answer 1

Step: Find the value of (4a – b - 2c) – (5a−3b+2c)
We need to subtract (5a - 3b + 2c) from (4a – b - 2c)
= (4a – b – 2c) – (5a – 3b + 2c)
= 4a – b – 2c – 5a + 3b – 2c
= 4a – 5a – b + 3b – 2c – 2c
= – a + 2b – 4c
Hence, the answer is (–a + 2b – 4c).
