Simplify 9a - 4b + a + 6

10a - 4b + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

9a - 4b + a + 6

1. Collect like terms.

(9a + a) - 4b + 6

2. Simplify.

10a - 4b + 6

10a-4b+6

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify, we need to combine like terms.

That means terms with the same variable, or just numerical values without a variable can be added together.

9a-4b+a+6

We can combine 9a and a together.

10a-4b+6

None of the terms can still be combined, so that is in simplest form.
