Clearly, there are some signs missing.
So let's try the four possibilities for the second terms:
1. + and +
3a + 4b = 7a + 4b
Subtract 4b from each side: 3a = 7a
Subtract 3a from each side: 0 = 4a
Answer : a = 0, b indeterminate (ie can have any vaue).
2. + and -
3a + 4b = 7a - 4b
Subtract 4b from each side: 3a = 7a - 8b
Subtract 7a from each side: -4a = -8b or 4a = 8b
Answer: a = 2b
3. - and -
3a - 4b = 7a - 4b
Add 4b to each side: 3a = 7a
Subtract 3a from each side: 0 = 4a
Answer : a = 0, b indeterminate (ie can have any vaue).
4. - and +
3a - 4b = 7a + 4b
Add 4b to each side: 3a = 7a + 8b
Subtract 7a from each side: -4a = 8b or 4a = -8b
Answer: a = -2b
Can't do better than that with the information available.

What is -7a plus 3a?
-7a + 3a = -4a
Simplify a plus 3a-2 plus 3a?
a + 3a - 2 + 3a. Add the a + 3a + 3a = 7a. You can't combine the -2 & 7a so the solution is: 7a - 2.
7a-17 equals 4a plus 1?
7a-17 = 4a+1 7a-4a = 1+17 3a = 18 a = 6
What is 3a plus 5b plus 7a?
3a+5b+7a=
What is 3a 7a simplified?
Oh, dude, it's like math time! So, when you add 3a and 7a together, you get 10a. It's like combining the apples and oranges of algebra. So, the simplified answer is just 10a. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
What is the answer to 4a - 5 equals 7a - 7?
4a - 5 = 7a - 7 -5 = 3a - 7 2 = 3a a = 3/2
What is -7a plus 3a?
-7a + 3a = -4a
What is -7a - 10 equals 20 - 3a?
-7a - 10 = 20 -3a-7a + 3a= 20 + 10-4a=30divide by negative 4a=-7.5-7x-7.5=52.5-10=42.5-3x-7.5=22.520+22.5=42.5
Simplify a plus 3a-2 plus 3a?
a + 3a - 2 + 3a. Add the a + 3a + 3a = 7a. You can't combine the -2 & 7a so the solution is: 7a - 2.
7a-17 equals 4a plus 1?
7a-17 = 4a+1 7a-4a = 1+17 3a = 18 a = 6
How do you solve 4a-2 equals 7a-6?
4a-2=7a-6 4=3a a=4/3
What is 3a plus 5b plus 7a?
3a+5b+7a=
What is 4a plus 3a-4 equals 10?
4a+3a-4 = 10 4a+3a = 10+4 7a = 14 a = 2
2a-4y equals 3a - 8a-5y?
2a - 4y = 3a - 8a - 5y 7a = -ya = -(y/7)
What is 3a 7a simplified?
