Question

Find the sum of (8a + 2b - 4)

Answer 1

You can factor this, so here is it factored:
2(4a+b-2)

Answer 2

There is really no answer to this because this is the furtherest you can go to simplify this expression. I can help solve it if you give me more information, or you tell me what the value of a and b is so I can solve it.

Thanks!
