No. 2a is one thing, 3b is another. If you add them together, they become 2a + 3b. 5ab indicates that multiplication has taken place. 5 times a times b = 5ab

How do you factor 6a2 plus 5ab - 6b2?

6a2 + 5ab - 6b2 = (3a - 2b)(2a + 3b)


Which is a factor of 6a2 plus 5ab - 6b2?

Considering the minus sign between 5ab and 6b2 then we have the polynomial as 6a2 + 5ab - 6b2. The polynomial is a quadratic polynomial.Steps to factorize a quadratic polynomial:1 - Multiply first term by third term. 6a2 x (-6b2) = -36a2b22 - If possible break the second term into two terms such that they multiple to -36a2b2. If not then it is factorized by Sridharacharya's formula.5ab can be broken as 9ab + (-4ab).These two terms multiply to give -36a2b2.So we can write 6a2 + 5ab - 6b2 = 6a2 + 9ab + (-4ab) - 6b2.6a2 + 9ab - 4ab - 6b2 = 3a(2a + 3b) - 2b(2a + 3b) = (2a + 3b)(3a - 2b).So the factors are (2a + 3b) and (3a - 2b).


Which is a factor of 6a2 5ab - 6b2?

(3a - 2b)(2a + 3b)


3a plus 3b-2a plus 5b?

3a + (3b - 2a) + 5b =3a + 3b - 2a + 5b =(3a - 2a) + (3b + 5b) =a + 8b


2A plus 3B times 2A - 3B?

2A plus 3B times 2A - 3B = 4A2 - 9B2; this is an example of the general formula (a + b)(a - b) = a2 - b2.
