For this case we have the following expression:

[tex](a + b + c) + 3a-2c[/tex]

We eliminate parentheses:

[tex]a + b-c + 3a-2c =[/tex]

We add similar terms:

[tex]a + 3a + b-c-2c =[/tex]

We have that equal signs are added and the same sign is placed, while different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed, then:

[tex]4a + b-3c[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]4a + b-3c[/tex]
