Simplify the expression by combining like terms

10ab+2ab2-9ab

3ab+2ab^2

To simplify the expression by combining like terms, add together the coefficients of the terms that have the same variables.

The terms in the expression are:
10ab, 2ab^2, and -9ab.

The coefficients of the terms with "ab" are:
10, 2, and -9.

Add the coefficients together:
10 + 2 - 9 = 3.

So, the simplified expression is:
3ab^2.
