Sometimes true?

ALWAYS !!!!!!!!!!!~!~!!!!

To classify the given statement as sometimes, always, or never true, we will need to evaluate the expression on both sides of the equation and compare their results.

Let's begin by simplifying the left side of the equation, a - (b - c):

First, we can apply the negative sign to b and distribute it to c:
a - (b - c) = a - b + c

Now, we can compare it to the right side of the equation, a - b + c.

As we can see, the left side expression is identical to the right side expression. Therefore, the given statement, "a - (b - c) = a - b + c," is always true.

In summary, the statement is always true.
