What is the solution of -2a plus 3a plus 5b
"a" plus "3a" is equal to 4a. (3a+a=4a). You already have 3 "a's" and then you add another "a."
Well if you are adding you would have 8a+2b subtract you would have -2a+2b
It can be simplified to: 3a^2 +10a+7 or factored as (3a+7)(a+1)
The given expression can be simplified to: 3b-a
