Problem 63
Question
Simplify each algebraic expression. $$7(3 a+2 b)+5(4 a+2 b)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified form of the algebraic expression \(7(3a+2b)+5(4a+2b)\) is \(41a + 24b\).
1Step 1: Expand expressions
We use the distributive property to expand the expressions. So, for \(7(3a+2b)+5(4a+2b)\), expanding it gives \(21a + 14b + 20a + 10b\).
2Step 2: Combine like terms
In the expanded form, terms \(21a\) and \(20a\) and terms \(14b\) and \(10b\) are alike. Combining them gives \(41a + 24b\).
