Question

The expression 3(-2m + 5) - 6(-4m - 2) can be written in the form am + b.

What is the value of a + b? Plzz I need help

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

3(-2m + 5) - 6(-4m - 2)

-6m + 15 + 24m + 12

18m + 27

Divided by 9

2m + 3

Here a = 2

And, b = 3

So, a + b = 2 + 3 = 5
