Answer 4

I think so. But after I do this formula, how does "c" and 9 fit in? does 9 or c go first, and I dont understand whether or not I shoul put "+" or "-"

Answer 5

\[\LARGE 9+4b+c-9b-1=(4-9)b+c+(9-1)\] can you do it now ??

c and 9 doesn't fit , leave them separated ...

Answer 6

Oh so -5b goes in between them?

Answer 10
