please check
@narissa you made some mistake... how did you solve it ?
e\[4a^2+-a^2=3^2 ~~~~ b+b=2b =3^2b-2b\]
umm looks like you have done some mistakes.. so let's start from beginning? The question is: \[(4a^2 + b) - (a^2 + b)\] right?
yes
Great! So, first we remove the brackets... for the first brackets.. i.e. \((4a^2 + b)\) there is no sign in front of the brackets that means there is a positive sign '+' so that's not going to affect the signs of \(4a^2\) or \(b\).. So, \((4a^2 + b) - (a^2 + b) = 4a^2 + b - (a^2 + b)\)
Any problem in this?
ok
we multiply by -1?
Great! Now, we remove the brackets from the second term.. but this time we have a negative sign '-' in front of brackets so we multiply every term inside the bracket with -1
-1 x -1= 1 -1x1=-1
Great!
So, our question will become... \(4a^2 + b -(a^2 + b) = 4a^2 +b - a^2 - b\)
Any doubt?
no
Nice :) So, we have: \(4a^2 + b - a^2 -b \) I bring \(a^2\) terms close to each other and \(b\) terms close... So, \(4a^2 -a^2 + b - b\)
4-1=3 1-1=1
Naah.. 1 - 1 is 0..
oh yea duhhh
So, we get: \(4a^2 - a^2 + b - b = 3a^2\)
3a^2 is my answer thanks !!
:D Great job! :)
