Question

Simplify: 4a + 3ab + 6ab

Answer 1

3ab and 6ab are like terms .. you can add them

Answer 2

so it would be 4a + 9ab

Answer 3

3ab and 6ab both have like terms so you can add them together.

4a + 9ab

If you need to simplify it further look for another like term, which is "a"

Pull the a out of the equation.

a(4+9b)

Answer 4

Yep that would be right, unless they ask you to simplify it more. ;D

Answer 5

a(4+9b) is factored form
4a+9ab is simplified form

Answer 6

Oof, yeah what Fiddle said. I'm sorry I minced up terms. so it can't be simplified any further than 4a + 9ab.
