Simplify 5a plus 4b - 3a?
5a + 4b - 3a =(5a - 3a) + 4b =2a + 4b =2 (a + 2b)
What is the answer to Simplify 5a plus 4b-3a?
2a + 4b
What is 3a x 4b simplified?
To simplify the expression 3a x 4b, you multiply the coefficients (numbers) together, which gives you 3 x 4 = 12. Then, you multiply the variables together, which gives you a x b = ab. Therefore, the simplified expression is 12ab.
6b plus 5a-4b plus 3a?
6b+5a-4b+3a= ? Rearrange it as 5a+3a+6b-4b = 8a+2b
3a 4b equals 7a 4b?
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.
