The numbers and letters probably refer to some legal statute but without knowing which state this question comes from it is impossible to guess what it might mean.
Simplifying a = 3a + 12 Reorder the terms: a = 12 + 3a Solving a = 12 + 3a Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3a' to each side of the equation. a + -3a = 12 + 3a + -3a Combine like terms: a + -3a = -2a -2a = 12 + 3a + -3a Combine like terms: 3a + -3a = 0 -2a = 12 + 0 -2a = 12 Divide each side by '-2'. a = -6 Simplifying a = -6
3a+6b are two terms of an expression
The expression ( 7a - a - a - a - a ) simplifies by combining like terms. You can group the ( a ) terms together: ( 7a - 4a ), which results in ( 3a ). Therefore, the simplified expression is ( 3a ).
Since they are like terms, 5a*3a=15a. Find out what "a" is equal to and multiply it by 15. Then, and only then, will you get your answer.
Since 3a is a factor of 6ab, it is automatically the GCF.
The expression (3a \times a \times b) can be simplified by multiplying the coefficients and combining like terms. This results in (3a^2b), where (3) is the coefficient, (a) is squared, and (b) remains as is. Thus, the final answer is (3a^2b).
two like terms will always have the same alphabet for example: 3a and 5a are like but 3a and 5b are not
First you find like terms so you subtract 12-9 Then you get 3a Your other like terms are 3+18 Then you get 21 So your answer is 3a+21
The area, in terms of a, is 2a*(3a-4) = 6a2-8a However, it is not possible to give its area in terms of x without knowing anything about x, such as how x relates to a.

a+7/3 = 6 Multiply all terms by 3:- 3a+7 =18 3a = 18-7 3a = 11 a = 3 and 2/3
add like terms: 3a -2a -5b + 6b +3b - 7b = a -3b
