Question

Find a - 2b + 3c diminished by a - 2b - 3c + d.

Answer 1

Diminished is just a fancy way of saying subtract, so you can do the problem the same way as the last one.

Answer 2

oh okay

Answer 3

With this problem, make sure you only subtract like terms.

Answer 4

-4b + d?

Answer 5

a-a=?
-2b-(-2b)=?
3c-(-3c)=?
0-d=?

Answer 6

-4b-6c

Answer 7

The b would cancel out because it would become -2b+2b=0. You can add the c together, though. It would be 3c+3c=6

0d-d=-1d=d
