Answer:

-9a + b

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let us factor out the variable a from the terms containing the variable, and apply addition and the distributive property to simplify the terms.

-5a - 4a + b

= a ( -5 + -4 ) + b

= a ( -9 ) + b

= -9a + b

Hence, the simplified expression for -5a - 4a + b is -9a + b.

Cheers.

Using suitable identity find 231^222-131^2

Sliva [168]

Given:

Consider the expression is

$231^2-131^2$

To find:

The value of given expression using a suitable identity.

Solution:

We have,

$231^2-131^2$

Using the identity $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$ , we get

$231^2-131^2=(231-131)(231+131)$

$231^2-131^2=(100)(362)$

$231^2-131^2=36200$

Therefore, the value of the given expression is $231^2-131^2=36200$ .
