To combine like terms in the expression (-7b + 8) - (6b + 3), you first distribute the negative sign within the second parentheses to both terms inside it. This results in -6b - 3. Then, you can combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable. In this case, you have two terms with the variable 'b'. So, you combine them by subtracting the coefficients.
The expression becomes:
(-7b + 8) - (6b + 3) = -7b + 8 - 6b - 3
Next, you combine the 'b' terms:
-7b - 6b = -13b
And you combine the constants:
8 - 3 = 5
Therefore, the simplified expression is:
-13b + 5
