There are no like terms here.
It is then 2 when all terms are added together
5a + 3 + (2a - 2) + a= 5a + 3 + 2a - 2 + a= 8a + 1
2a + 10 + 5a - 2 = (2a + 5a) + (10 - 2) = 7a + 8
a + b - 2 is the answer in simplest terms. without telling us what a or b is this is the most accurate answer.
(x + 2)(a + b)

With the assumption your asking what a or b are in terms of each other. a=3b/(6b-2) b=2a/(6a-2)
6a2 - 8ab + 2aas you can see a is common to all terms. And 2 is a factor of 6,8, and 2. So 2a is a factor of all three terms:2a(3a-4b+1)
5a + 3 + (2a - 2) + a= 5a + 3 + 2a - 2 + a= 8a + 1
2a + 10 + 5a - 2 = (2a + 5a) + (10 - 2) = 7a + 8
i think yes, because you can combine 2 and -2, which are like terms, so why not 2a and -2a?
2a+12=8 2a=-4 a=-2 So a is -2.
a + b - 2 is the answer in simplest terms. without telling us what a or b is this is the most accurate answer.
-2a + 5 = 1 -2a = -5 + 1 -2a = -4 a = -4/-2 a = 2
A=2
