Step-by-step explanation:
1. Identify the different constellations of variables. Here there are three:
2. Combine coefficients of each of the different variable constellations:
(8.1 -2.8)b +(6.7 +0.9)a +(2.5 +7)
5.3b +7.8a +9.5
3. Perform any other operations that might be required depending on the sort of equivalent wanted. For example, one could write ...
5.3(b +(78/53)a) +9.5 . . . . . . . shows the weight of a relative to b
