To simplify 3a + 2b - 8a + b, we need to combine like terms. Like terms are terms that share common variables. In this expression, the two variables are terms with a and terms with b. The terms that have a are 3a and -8a. The terms that have b are 2b and b. Now we can separate them and simplify.

(3a - 8a) + (2b + b)

-5a + 3b

To simplify this expression, we must combine like terms. This means that we have to add or subtract the coefficients of the same variables, meaning we can only add variable a's together and variable b's together, they must stay separate.

3a + 2b - 8a + b

The first thing that we should do is to rearrange this expression so that the terms with the same variables are next to one another.

3a - 8a + 2b + b

Next, we can combine these terms by adding/subtracting their coefficients.

-5a + 3b

We can also write this as:

3b - 5a

Therefore, your answer is 3b - 5a.

Hope this helps!

A data set has a median of 12, an upper quartile of 15, a lower quartile of 10, a minimum of 4, and a maximum of 20. Which state
ololo11 [35]

Given:

A data set has a median of 12, an upper quartile of 15, a lower quartile of 10, a minimum of 4, and a maximum of 20.

To find:

The correct statement for the box plot.

Solution:

Lower quartile is 10 and upper quartile is 15, so the box will go from 10 to 15.

Median of the data set is 12, so a line dividing the box will be at 12.

Minimum value is 4 and lower quartile is 10, so the left whisker will go from 4 to 10.

Upper quartile is 15 and maximum value is 20, so the right whisker will go from 15 to 20.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
