Question

Work out the value of a and b in the identity.
3ax + 6 - 4(x + b)= 11x + 14

Answer 1

Answer:a=5,b=-2

Step-by-step explanation:put x=0 in the equation then you have,

6-4b=14

4b=6-14

b=-2

Now put x=1 then you get,

3a+6-4(1+b)=11+14

Put the value of b,

3a+6-4(-1)=25

3a+6+4=25

3a=15

a=5
