7.8+3.5a−80b−7.8b+3.9a=?
To solve this problem, we need to simplify the given expression:
1. Identify and group similar terms:
- Constant term: 7.8
- Terms with a: 3.5a+3.9a
- Terms with b: −80b−7.8b
2. Simplify each group:
- Combine terms with a:
3.5a+3.9a=(3.5+3.9)a=7.4a
- Combine terms with b:
−80b−7.8b=(−80−7.8)b=−87.8b
3. The constant term remains 7.8.
4. Therefore, the simplified expression is:
7.8+7.4a−87.8b
Thus, the correct answer is 7.8+7.4a−87.8b
7.8+7.4a−87.8b
