[tex]\large\text{26 - 18b + 11 ( b - 3)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{First, you have to \bf{\underline{DISTRIBUTE}}}[/tex] [tex]\text{(The formula is: a ( b + c) = a(b) + a(c)= ab + ac)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{26 - 18b + 11(b) + 11 (-3)) }[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{11(b) = 11b}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{11(-3) = -33}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Our new equation: 26 - 18b + 11b - 33}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{COMBINE your like terms}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{\underline{26} - \bf{18b} + \bf{11b}}\large\text{ - }\large\text{\underline {33}}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{\underline{26 - 33 = -7}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{\bf{-18b + 11b = -7b}}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{Answer: -7b - 7}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Thus your answer is: \boxed{\large\text{\bf{-7b - 7}}}}}}\large\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}[/tex]
