<h3>
It is equivalent to 2a+2b</h3>
We use the distributive property.
Multiply the outer term 2 by each term inside ('a' and b)
2 times a = 2a
2 times b = 2b
We add those results to get 2a+2b. We cannot combine these terms as they are not like terms.
Hope this helps! Just combine like terms and solve like abnormal equation (:
Continue the slop until it hits the y axis and that point will be your y intercept
Set up a proportion
1 lbs = 2 cups
x lbs = 1.5 cups
1/2 = x/1.5
1.5(1/2) = x
1.5/2 = x
.75 lbs = x
