That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
Answer:
(Kind of cheating but since you're timed I'm just gonna five you the answer:
3/11
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this by guessing a bit, I used what varibles I had and 0.27 & 3 and used them.
So 3/0.27 = 11.11 (Repeating) so then I rounded this to a whole number,
3/11 = 0.27 (Repeating)
= 2/6 = 3/9 = 12/36 = 24/72
The square root of 40 is 6.33
