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!
-7a + 3a = -4a
a + 3a - 2 + 3a. Add the a + 3a + 3a = 7a. You can't combine the -2 & 7a so the solution is: 7a - 2.
3a+5b+7a=
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.
4a + 3a = (4 + 3)a = 7a
It is: 7a+1 when simplified
-7a + 3a = -4a
a + 3a - 2 + 3a. Add the a + 3a + 3a = 7a. You can't combine the -2 & 7a so the solution is: 7a - 2.
3a+5b+7a=
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.
3a + 4a +/- 6; take the 3a & 4a and combine them; 7a +/- 6 would be your answer as 6 cannot combine with 7a due to the variable. If 7a +/- 6 = 0, then subtract/add (respectively) the 6 depending on the operation. Therefore 7a + 6 = 0 turns to 7a = -6. Divide the 7 with the -6 to get the a alone; a = -6/7 or -0.8. Cannot be simplified.
It is: 2a+5a = 7a when simplified
