Question

The expression 2 (a + b) = -8.1 for certain values of a and b. Find the value of the following expressions for the same values of a and b: 4a+4b

Answer 1

If we put a=0 and b=-4.05 then the expression 4a+4b becomes -16.2 and when we put a=-4.05 and b=0 then the expression becomes -16.2.

Given  2 (a + b) = -8.1

Because no relationship between a and b is given so we can put any value of one variable to determine the value of another variable.

If we put a=0 in 2(a+b) =-8.1 then b=-4.05

If we put b=0 then a =-4.05.

We need to put these values in 4a+4b

when a=0 b=-4.05

4a+4b=4*0+4*-4.5

=-16.2

when b=0 and a=-4.05

4a+4b=4*-4.05+4*0

=-16.2

Hence for a=0,b=-4.5 the value of 4a+4b equals -16.2 and for a=-4.05 and b=0 the function equals -16.2.
