Facrorize -a-b+1+ab​

Ok so we need to find out the different kinds of variables/constants.

1st kind: -a

2nd kind: -b

3rd kind: 1

4th kind: ab

-a and -b are different because they are different variables, and since their value is not known, you can't add or subtract them together.

-a, -b, and 1 are not the same because -a and -b are variables and their value is unknown. However, 1 is a constant, and it's value is constant and known.

-a, -b, and ab are different because ab are "fused together" (multiplied) and that means you cannot add them separately.

So this expression cannot be factorized.

♡ Hope this helps! ♡

Hi my lil bunny!

Let's simplify step-by-step.


-a - b + 1 + ab


= -a + -b + 1 + ab

So the answer is :
\boxed {-a + -b + 1 + ab}
