Question

combining like termsplease identify the like terms by coloring it's the rectangles using the same color then write the simplified expression on the line provided

Answer 1

By collecting like-terms, we have:

$6a^2+4a^2+2b^2-ab-ab+a+2a+12b-5b-b+10b$

By simplifying the like-terms,

$10a^2+2b^2-2ab+3a+16b$
