2a + 3b - a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a + 3b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplified? it would be a+3b lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that. teach me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can simplify the expression by combining like terms 2a + 3b - a | | ---------------

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just perform simple calculation for like terms 2a + 3b - a = 2a - a + 3b = a + 3b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you combine the like terms. 2a + 3b - a ;; so your like terms are 2a and - 1a (the 1 is "invisible") that leaves you with 1a, or a. The 3b has nothing to combine with, so that's as far as it can go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they both have same values os "a " you cant do anything with 3b so you just leave that alone

wow thank you...
