So the answer is...

3x-1y

OpenStudy (pratyush5):

7a + 6b + 2c - ( 11a -3b -8c ) 7a + 6b + 2c - 11a + 3b + 8c 7a-11a +6b+3b +2c+8c ( this means combining like terms ) so i think you can do it frm here . can you ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[7a -6b+2c -(11a-3b-8c)\] Expand the brackets: \[7a -6b+2c -11a+3b+8c)\] Add / Subtract "like" terms: \[-4a-3b+10c\]

OpenStudy (pratyush5):

@salehgeek its 7a + 6b + 2c not 7a - 6b + 2c

OpenStudy (pratyush5):

got it @sofia11 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, your right: \[7a+6b+2c−(11a−3b−8c)\] Expand the brackets: \[7a+6b+2c−11a+3b+8c\] Add / Subtract "like" terms: \[−4a+9b+10c\] I'm on Windows, seriously need to upgrade to Linux

OpenStudy (pratyush5):

haha lol :P

OpenStudy (pratyush5):
