How do you factor ab plus 2a plus 3b plus 6?
(a + 3)( b + 2)
Simplify 2a plus 3b plus 5a plus 6 plus 3b?
6+7a+6b
What are the values of a and b if 6 3 is the midpoint of the line joining 2a comma 2a-b to a-2b comma 4a plus 3b?
6 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -3
What is 3a-5b plus 6b-2a plus 3b-7b?
add like terms: 3a -2a -5b + 6b +3b - 7b = a -3b
What does 4a-3b-2a-8b?
2a+(-11b)
