Answer:

a = 120 and b = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

a++ means a = a+1

b*=a is the same as b= a*b

After plugging in the variables,

Here are the results in order:

a = 6;

b = 60;

a = 120;

We only keep the nearest declared value of the variable, so "a" would equal 120 and "b" would equal 60.
