1)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 2ab + 19bc - 8ac from 22ab - 19bc + 8ca


Answer: 20ab 

Answer: -38bc

Answer: 16ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (22ab - 19bc + 8ca) - (2ab + 19bc - 8ca)

= 22ab - 19bc + 8ca - 2ab - 19bc + 8ca
= (22ab - 2ab) + (-19bc - 19bc) + (8ca + 8ca)
= (22 - 2)ab + (-19 - 19)bc + (8 + 8)ca
= 20ab  -38bc + 16ca


2)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 2ab + 2bc - 17ac from 12ab - 11bc + 4ca


Answer: 10ab 

Answer: -13bc

Answer: 21ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (12ab - 11bc + 4ca) - (2ab + 2bc - 17ca)

= 12ab - 11bc + 4ca - 2ab - 2bc + 17ca
= (12ab - 2ab) + (-11bc - 2bc) + (4ca + 17ca)
= (12 - 2)ab + (-11 - 2)bc + (4 + 17)ca
= 10ab  -13bc + 21ca


3)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 7ab + 13bc - 6ac from 17ab - 18bc + 6ca


Answer: 10ab 

Answer: -31bc

Answer: 12ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (17ab - 18bc + 6ca) - (7ab + 13bc - 6ca)

= 17ab - 18bc + 6ca - 7ab - 13bc + 6ca
= (17ab - 7ab) + (-18bc - 13bc) + (6ca + 6ca)
= (17 - 7)ab + (-18 - 13)bc + (6 + 6)ca
= 10ab  -31bc + 12ca


4)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 7ab + 3bc - 14ac from 15ab - 12bc + 17ca


Answer: 8ab 

Answer: -15bc

Answer: 31ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (15ab - 12bc + 17ca) - (7ab + 3bc - 14ca)

= 15ab - 12bc + 17ca - 7ab - 3bc + 14ca
= (15ab - 7ab) + (-12bc - 3bc) + (17ca + 14ca)
= (15 - 7)ab + (-12 - 3)bc + (17 + 14)ca
= 8ab  -15bc + 31ca


5)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 2ab + 9bc - 15ac from 21ab - 20bc + 18ca


Answer: 19ab 

Answer: -29bc

Answer: 33ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (21ab - 20bc + 18ca) - (2ab + 9bc - 15ca)

= 21ab - 20bc + 18ca - 2ab - 9bc + 15ca
= (21ab - 2ab) + (-20bc - 9bc) + (18ca + 15ca)
= (21 - 2)ab + (-20 - 9)bc + (18 + 15)ca
= 19ab  -29bc + 33ca


6)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 5ab + 14bc - 17ac from 13ab - 14bc + 9ca


Answer: 8ab 

Answer: -28bc

Answer: 26ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (13ab - 14bc + 9ca) - (5ab + 14bc - 17ca)

= 13ab - 14bc + 9ca - 5ab - 14bc + 17ca
= (13ab - 5ab) + (-14bc - 14bc) + (9ca + 17ca)
= (13 - 5)ab + (-14 - 14)bc + (9 + 17)ca
= 8ab  -28bc + 26ca


7)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 5ab + 14bc - 14ac from 17ab - 7bc + 8ca


Answer: 12ab 

Answer: -21bc

Answer: 22ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (17ab - 7bc + 8ca) - (5ab + 14bc - 14ca)

= 17ab - 7bc + 8ca - 5ab - 14bc + 14ca
= (17ab - 5ab) + (-7bc - 14bc) + (8ca + 14ca)
= (17 - 5)ab + (-7 - 14)bc + (8 + 14)ca
= 12ab  -21bc + 22ca


8)  

 Solve the following.

subtract 4ab + 12bc - 16ac from 13ab - 12bc + 3ca


Answer: 9ab 

Answer: -24bc

Answer: 19ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (13ab - 12bc + 3ca) - (4ab + 12bc - 16ca)

= 13ab - 12bc + 3ca - 4ab - 12bc + 16ca
= (13ab - 4ab) + (-12bc - 12bc) + (3ca + 16ca)
= (13 - 4)ab + (-12 - 12)bc + (3 + 16)ca
= 9ab  -24bc + 19ca

 Solve the following.

subtract 3ab + 8bc - 11ac from 19ab - 8bc + 2ca


Answer: 16ab 

Answer: -16bc

Answer: 13ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (19ab - 8bc + 2ca) - (3ab + 8bc - 11ca)

= 19ab - 8bc + 2ca - 3ab - 8bc + 11ca
= (19ab - 3ab) + (-8bc - 8bc) + (2ca + 11ca)
= (19 - 3)ab + (-8 - 8)bc + (2 + 11)ca
= 16ab  -16bc + 13ca

Answer: -33bc

Answer: 26ca


SOLUTION 1 :

 (22ab - 17bc + 17ca) - (8ab + 16bc - 9ca)

= 22ab - 17bc + 17ca - 8ab - 16bc + 9ca
= (22ab - 8ab) + (-17bc - 16bc) + (17ca + 9ca)
= (22 - 8)ab + (-17 - 16)bc + (17 + 9)ca
= 14ab  -33bc + 26ca
