ReneIn algebra, when you see the expression "a x 3b," it means you are multiplying the variable "a" by the number 3, and then multiplying that result by the variable "b." This can be written as 3ab or 3 * a * b. The order of multiplication does not matter in this case, so the result is the same regardless of how you group the factors.

What is the factor of 3a plus ax plus 3b plus bx?
3a+ax+3b+bx = 3(a+b)+(a+b)x = (a+b)(3+x)
Factorise 4a plus 6b-12?
2 x (2a + 3b - 6)
What is the simplification of 6ab over 3b?
6ab / 3b = 2a so b / b cancels each other out 6 / 3 = 2 / 1 Example: a = 4 and b = 5 6ab = 6 x 4 x 5 = 120 3b = 3 x 5 = 15 120 / 15 = 24 / 3 = 8 = 2a = 2 x 4
-2b plus 7-3b equals 2?
-2b + 7 -3b = 2 -2b +7 -3b +2b = 2 + 2b 7 -3b + 3b = 2 + 2b +3b 7-2 = 2-2 + 2b + 3b 5 = 5b 1 = b
How do you solve for b when a equals 3b-c?
a = 3b - c a + c = 3b - c + c a + c = 3b (a + c)/3 = 3b/3 ( a + c ) / 3 = b Do your homework.
