Question:3
Subtract (2a - 3b + 4c) from the sum of (a + 3b - 4c), (4a - b + 9c) and (-2b + 3c - a).
Solution:
(a + 3b - 4c) + (4a - b + 9c) + (-2b + 3c - a)
= a + 4a - a + 3b -b -2b -4c +9c + 3c
= 4a + 8c
Now, 4a +8c

= 2a + 3b + 4c

Solution:

2
)
= 8m - 3m - 7n -4n + 6p
2

Question:3
Subtract (2a - 3b + 4c) from the sum of (a + 3b - 4c), (4a - b + 9c) and (-2b + 3c - a).
Solution:
(a + 3b - 4c) + (4a - b + 9c) + (-2b + 3c - a)
= a + 4a - a + 3b -b -2b -4c +9c + 3c

Solution:
(8m - 7n + 6p
