Question

3a+2b+6a

Answer 1

What's the context for this equation? Are you just trying to simplify it?

Answer 2

yes combining like terms

Answer 3

Well, you have two groups of "a" - one with 3 and one with 6. You just add together the numbers and you get the total amount. There is only one b so it can be left alone.

Answer 4

so the answer is 11 b?

Answer 5

No, you only add together the a values.

Answer 6

so its 8

Answer 7

9a+2b

Answer 8

Close! 3+6 is 9, not 8. And you can't forgot the b value as well, it's still there.

Answer 9

thanks
