Just simply it into numbers and letters as best you can.
First multiply the stuff in the paragraphs:
3 (2-c) - c becomes:
6-3c -c = 6 - 4c
That's the answer

Simplify doesn't always mean give a number answer, just put in simplest terms. Here, you need to distribute the 3 to the c and the -c, which makes it 6-3c-c. -3c-c=-4c, so the answer at the end is 6-4c.

it's 6-4c
step1: 3 x 2= 6
step2: 3 x -c= -3c
step3: -3c -c = -4c

You don't have to know.
If you did, it would say solve.
3(2 - c )- c
Remove brackets by multiplying contents:
6 - 3c -c
Collect like terms:
6 - 4c
