Simplify: - c - 8 (4c - 5) - (-18c + 3)

-15c + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

you start by multiplying the coefficients of the parentheses to the numbers inside which gives you

- c - 32c + 5 + 18c - 3

then you simply just group together the like numbers. all "c" 's go together and everything without a "c" goes together

- 1c - 32c + 18c = - 15c

5 - 3 = 2

the final answer simplified is

-15c + 2
