2a + b - 3b = 2a - 2b2a+b−3b=2a−2b

In 2a + b - 3b2a+b−3b, find similar variables in the expression. In 2a + b - 3b2a+b−3b, bb and -3b−3b have the same variable of 'b' while 2a does not share the same variable of 'a' with any other values.

We now can subtract the values with the same variable.

b-3b = -2b

Hence the simplified answer would be 2a-2b.
