Question

Simplify 2a+5b/4+3a+2b/8​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms

$2a + \frac{5b}{4}+3a + \frac{2b}{8}=2a + 3a +\frac{5b}{4}+\frac{2b}{8}\\\\ = 2a + 3a + \frac{5b}{4}+\frac{b}{4}\\\\= 5a + \frac{5b+b}{4}\\\\= 5a +\frac{6b}{4}\\\\= 5a + \frac{3b}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$2a+5\frac{b}{4}+3a+2\frac{b}{8}$

First multiply by 8

$2\cdot8a+5\cdot8\cdot\frac{b}{4}+3\cdot8\cdot a+2\frac{b}{8}\cdot8$

We multiple and divide where we can

$16a+10b+24a+2b$

And now it's simple

30a+12b
