 Solve the following.

subtract 8ab + 12bc - 20ac from 13ab - 19bc + 14ca


Answer: 5ab 

Answer: -31bc

Answer: 34ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (13ab - 19bc + 14ca) - (8ab + 12bc - 20ca)

= 13ab - 19bc + 14ca - 8ab - 12bc + 20ca
= (13ab - 8ab) + (-19bc - 12bc) + (14ca + 20ca)
= (13 - 8)ab + (-19 - 12)bc + (14 + 20)ca
= 5ab  -31bc + 34ca


2)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 6ab + 10bc - 12ac from 20ab - 17bc + 12ca


Answer: 14ab 

Answer: -27bc

Answer: 24ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (20ab - 17bc + 12ca) - (6ab + 10bc - 12ca)

= 20ab - 17bc + 12ca - 6ab - 10bc + 12ca
= (20ab - 6ab) + (-17bc - 10bc) + (12ca + 12ca)
= (20 - 6)ab + (-17 - 10)bc + (12 + 12)ca
= 14ab  -27bc + 24ca


3)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 4ab + 10bc - 2ac from 19ab - 5bc + 12ca


Answer: 15ab 

Answer: -15bc

Answer: 14ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (19ab - 5bc + 12ca) - (4ab + 10bc - 2ca)

= 19ab - 5bc + 12ca - 4ab - 10bc + 2ca
= (19ab - 4ab) + (-5bc - 10bc) + (12ca + 2ca)
= (19 - 4)ab + (-5 - 10)bc + (12 + 2)ca
= 15ab  -15bc + 14ca


4)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 8ab + 11bc - 9ac from 12ab - 18bc + 19ca


Answer: 4ab 

Answer: -29bc

Answer: 28ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (12ab - 18bc + 19ca) - (8ab + 11bc - 9ca)

= 12ab - 18bc + 19ca - 8ab - 11bc + 9ca
= (12ab - 8ab) + (-18bc - 11bc) + (19ca + 9ca)
= (12 - 8)ab + (-18 - 11)bc + (19 + 9)ca
= 4ab  -29bc + 28ca


5)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 4ab + 11bc - 19ac from 13ab - 11bc + 7ca


Answer: 9ab 

Answer: -22bc

Answer: 26ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (13ab - 11bc + 7ca) - (4ab + 11bc - 19ca)

= 13ab - 11bc + 7ca - 4ab - 11bc + 19ca
= (13ab - 4ab) + (-11bc - 11bc) + (7ca + 19ca)
= (13 - 4)ab + (-11 - 11)bc + (7 + 19)ca
= 9ab  -22bc + 26ca


6)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 4ab + 14bc - 14ac from 17ab - 10bc + 15ca


Answer: 13ab 

Answer: -24bc

Answer: 29ca

 (17ab - 10bc + 15ca) - (4ab + 14bc - 14ca)

= 17ab - 10bc + 15ca - 4ab - 14bc + 14ca
= (17ab - 4ab) + (-10bc - 14bc) + (15ca + 14ca)
= (17 - 4)ab + (-10 - 14)bc + (15 + 14)ca
= 13ab  -24bc + 29ca

 (20ab - 20bc + 17ca) - (7ab + 4bc - 15ca)

= 20ab - 20bc + 17ca - 7ab - 4bc + 15ca
= (20ab - 7ab) + (-20bc - 4bc) + (17ca + 15ca)
= (20 - 7)ab + (-20 - 4)bc + (17 + 15)ca
= 13ab  -24bc + 32ca

 (20ab - 8bc + 16ca) - (8ab + 2bc - 16ca)

= 20ab - 8bc + 16ca - 8ab - 2bc + 16ca
= (20ab - 8ab) + (-8bc - 2bc) + (16ca + 16ca)
= (20 - 8)ab + (-8 - 2)bc + (16 + 16)ca
= 12ab  -10bc + 32ca

 (15ab - 16bc + 9ca) - (4ab + 8bc - 5ca)

= 15ab - 16bc + 9ca - 4ab - 8bc + 5ca
= (15ab - 4ab) + (-16bc - 8bc) + (9ca + 5ca)
= (15 - 4)ab + (-16 - 8)bc + (9 + 5)ca
= 11ab  -24bc + 14ca
