The expression 4a - 5 - a + 2 can be simplified by combining like terms. Combining the terms with 'a', we get 4a - a = 3a. Combining the constants, we get -5 + 2 = -3. Therefore, the simplified expression is 3a - 3.

If 5a 4a-1 equals 9a-4 what is the method used to get that answer?

Because of limitations with the question software, some symbols cannot be rendered, so we don't know what operation there is between the 5a and the 4a-1. Assuming a plus sign produces an inconsistent equation. But if we assume a / (slash) for division, we get a quadratic equation that produces some reasonable roots, so here's what I think the question is: Can you solve the following equation for a: 5a/(4a-1) = 9a-4 ? Yes you can! Multiply both sides of the equation by 4a-1. This gives you: 5a = (9a-4)(4a-1) Expand the right side, which gives you 5a = 36a2 -9a -16a + 4 Subtract 5a from both sides and group similar terms: 0 = 36a2 -30a + 4 Now, use the quadratic formula to solve for a(left to the student): a1 = 2/3; a2 = 1/6


What expressions are equal to 5a plus b?

Expressions that are equal to ( 5a + b ) include ( 2(2.5a) + b ), ( 5a + 1b ), and ( 10a/2 + b ). Any expression that can be algebraically manipulated to yield ( 5a + b ) is also equal, such as ( 5(a + \frac{b}{5}) ) or ( (4a + a) + b ). Essentially, any combination that maintains the same coefficients for ( a ) and ( b \ will qualify.


20a plus 12a-8?

As written, that equals 32a - 8, which factors to 8(4a - 1) If you meant 20a^2 + 12a - 8, that factors to 4(5a - 2)(a + 1)
