What is b - 9b simplified?

Answer 1

9

Answer 2

What I would do is change the problem up. Instead of b-9b I would make it -(9b-b). It is still the same problem; you will multiply the number inside the parenthesis be -1. So start with 9b-b. That would equal 8b. So it would change from -(9b-b) to -(8b) so you multiply 8b by negative 1 (-1) to get the answer -8b. -8b is your answer. So b - 9b = -8b

Answer 3

To simplify the expression b - 9b, we first combine like terms. This involves subtracting the coefficients of the b terms. So, b - 9b simplifies to -8b. The final simplified expression is -8b.

Answer 4

8b
