Simplify: 4a + 3ab + 6ab

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 4a + 9ab

OpenStudy (riley):

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)

OpenStudy (riley):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (riley):

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