Responses
7a−6
7 a minus 6
43a−78
43 a minus 78
7a+6
7 a plus 6
43a+78
43 a plus 78
To simplify the expression 9 + 3(4a - 7) - 5a + 6, we can distribute the 3 and simplify.
9 + 3(4a - 7) - 5a + 6
= 9 + 12a - 21 - 5a + 6
= (12a - 5a) + (9 - 21 + 6)
= 7a - 6
Therefore, the simplified expression is 7a - 6.
