2a-3
x a+2

4a-6 <-ok why does 4a plus
2a^2-3a <3b = a??
-------------
2a^2+a-6

Algebra help needed here.
Your notation makes no sense.
The first two algebraic terms are no equations or inequalities, so they don't help define or solve for anything.
4a-6 <-ok makes no sense mathematically
What does the ------ mean? Are you trying to write fractions?
Perhaps factoring
2a^2-3a = a (2a - 3) and
2a^2+a-6 = (a + 2)(2a -3)
will help. The 2a - 3 terms might cancel, if you are trying to write a fraction.
OK MAYBE THIS WAY? (a+2)(2a-3)
im suppoed to multiply that. I understand everything except why does 4a-3a= a?
heip on algabra

4 - 3 = 1
4a - 3a = 1a
4a - 3a = a
In algebra, when you are subtracting two terms with the same variable, you can combine the coefficients and keep the variable unchanged.
So, let's take the expression 4a - 3a.
First, we have 4a. This means we have 4 times the variable "a".
Then, we subtract 3a. This means we subtract 3 times the variable "a".
To simplify this expression, we can combine the coefficients of "a". In this case, 4a - 3a can be rewritten as 1a or simply "a".
So, 4a - 3a equals "a".
