1)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 5ab + 10bc - 10ac from 15ab - 9bc + 17ca


Answer: 10ab 

Answer: -19bc

Answer: 27ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (15ab - 9bc + 17ca) - (5ab + 10bc - 10ca)

= 15ab - 9bc + 17ca - 5ab - 10bc + 10ca
= (15ab - 5ab) + (-9bc - 10bc) + (17ca + 10ca)
= (15 - 5)ab + (-9 - 10)bc + (17 + 10)ca
= 10ab  -19bc + 27ca


2)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 10ab + 8bc - 12ac from 15ab - 16bc + 5ca


Answer: 5ab 

Answer: -24bc

Answer: 17ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (15ab - 16bc + 5ca) - (10ab + 8bc - 12ca)

= 15ab - 16bc + 5ca - 10ab - 8bc + 12ca
= (15ab - 10ab) + (-16bc - 8bc) + (5ca + 12ca)
= (15 - 10)ab + (-16 - 8)bc + (5 + 12)ca
= 5ab  -24bc + 17ca


3)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 10ab + 18bc - 7ac from 18ab - 5bc + 7ca


Answer: 8ab 

Answer: -23bc

Answer: 14ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (18ab - 5bc + 7ca) - (10ab + 18bc - 7ca)

= 18ab - 5bc + 7ca - 10ab - 18bc + 7ca
= (18ab - 10ab) + (-5bc - 18bc) + (7ca + 7ca)
= (18 - 10)ab + (-5 - 18)bc + (7 + 7)ca
= 8ab  -23bc + 14ca


4)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 5ab + 19bc - 18ac from 20ab - 15bc + 17ca


Answer: 15ab 

Answer: -34bc

Answer: 35ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (20ab - 15bc + 17ca) - (5ab + 19bc - 18ca)

= 20ab - 15bc + 17ca - 5ab - 19bc + 18ca
= (20ab - 5ab) + (-15bc - 19bc) + (17ca + 18ca)
= (20 - 5)ab + (-15 - 19)bc + (17 + 18)ca
= 15ab  -34bc + 35ca


5)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 2ab + 2bc - 20ac from 16ab - 4bc + 14ca


Answer: 14ab 

Answer: -6bc

Answer: 34ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (16ab - 4bc + 14ca) - (2ab + 2bc - 20ca)

= 16ab - 4bc + 14ca - 2ab - 2bc + 20ca
= (16ab - 2ab) + (-4bc - 2bc) + (14ca + 20ca)
= (16 - 2)ab + (-4 - 2)bc + (14 + 20)ca
= 14ab  -6bc + 34ca


6)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 2ab + 19bc - 20ac from 19ab - 18bc + 3ca


Answer: 17ab 

Answer: -37bc

Answer: 23ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (19ab - 18bc + 3ca) - (2ab + 19bc - 20ca)

= 19ab - 18bc + 3ca - 2ab - 19bc + 20ca
= (19ab - 2ab) + (-18bc - 19bc) + (3ca + 20ca)
= (19 - 2)ab + (-18 - 19)bc + (3 + 20)ca
= 17ab  -37bc + 23ca


7)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 10ab + 4bc - 7ac from 21ab - 9bc + 17ca


Answer: 11ab 

Answer: -13bc

Answer: 24ca

 (21ab - 9bc + 17ca) - (10ab + 4bc - 7ca)

= 21ab - 9bc + 17ca - 10ab - 4bc + 7ca
= (21ab - 10ab) + (-9bc - 4bc) + (17ca + 7ca)
= (21 - 10)ab + (-9 - 4)bc + (17 + 7)ca
= 11ab  -13bc + 24ca


8)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 3ab + 20bc - 12ac from 21ab - 10bc + 8ca


Answer: 18ab 

Answer: -30bc

Answer: 20ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (21ab - 10bc + 8ca) - (3ab + 20bc - 12ca)

= 21ab - 10bc + 8ca - 3ab - 20bc + 12ca
= (21ab - 3ab) + (-10bc - 20bc) + (8ca + 12ca)
= (21 - 3)ab + (-10 - 20)bc + (8 + 12)ca
= 18ab  -30bc + 20ca

 (14ab - 4bc + 14ca) - (6ab + 13bc - 2ca)

= 14ab - 4bc + 14ca - 6ab - 13bc + 2ca
= (14ab - 6ab) + (-4bc - 13bc) + (14ca + 2ca)
= (14 - 6)ab + (-4 - 13)bc + (14 + 2)ca
= 8ab  -17bc + 16ca

= 16ab - 14bc + 10ca - 6ab - 12bc + 18ca
= (16ab - 6ab) + (-14bc - 12bc) + (10ca + 18ca)
= (16 - 6)ab + (-14 - 12)bc + (10 + 18)ca
= 10ab  -26bc + 28ca
