Let's substitute \( a = 4 \) and \( b = 2 \) into the expression \( \frac{ab}{b} + a \).
-
Substitute the values: \[ \frac{4 \cdot 2}{2} + 4 \]
-
Calculate \( \frac{4 \cdot 2}{2} \): \[ \frac{8}{2} = 4 \]
-
Now, simplify the expression: \[ 4 + 4 = 8 \]
Thus, the simplified result is \( \boxed{8} \).
