Question

What’s the answer to this question

Answer 1

Answer:

ab

Step-by-step explanation:

When all of the variables are the same in a problem, think of them as the same term. They can be added and subtracted just as you would add and subtract normal numbers.

For example if I have 5 bananas on a table and take away 3 bananas. I only have two bananas left (2b). It's the same when there are variables!

Subtract 9 from 3:

-6ab+7ab

Add -6 to 7:

ab

Your final answer is ab!

Answer 2

Combining like terms. 3ab-9ab=-6ab and -6ab+7ab=ab. Therefore the answer is ab
