a-^2a-b^-a-b
2a + 2b = c subtract 2a from both sides 2a - 2a + 2b = c - 2a 2b = c - 2a divide both sides by 2 (2/2)b = (c - 2a)/2 b = (c - 2a)/2 --------------------
(a - 2b)(2a - b)
2a+2b+3a+3b+a+b= 6a+6b 2a+3a+a=6a 2b+3b+b=6b
6 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -36 is the average of 2a and a - 2b so 12 = 2a + a - 2b = 3a - 2b3 is the average of 2a - b and 4a + 3b so 6 = 2a - b + 4a + 3b = 6a + 2bAdding the two equations gives: 18 = 9a so that a = 2Substituting for a in the first gives 12 = 6 - 2b so that b = -3
2(a+b) is 2a plus 2b in factored form.
2a
It is 2a-b simplified
2a*2b = 4ab
Well if you are adding you would have 8a+2b subtract you would have -2a+2b
Do this: write it out 2 |2a + 4b + 8 Now what divides into all the numbers? ---------------- a + 2b + 4 answer is 2(a+2b+4)
a-b+a-b+2b+a = 4a
