Example Question #832 : How To Subtract

Simplify the below:

a - a + b + b

Possible Answers:

2a - 2b

2a + 2b

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to simplify: a - a + b + b

We must gather the things that are the alike together.

Since we have an "a" and then we subtract an "a" there are no more a's left, so we should not have any a's in our answer.

Since we have a "b" added to another "b", we can see that we get when we add those together.

So the final answer becomes .
