Question

First rewrite the expression by combining like terms.
3b + 4 + 10 + 6b — 2 = ___b + ___

Answer 1

Now. Factor the expression.

Answer 2

Now factor the expression

Answer 3

To combine the like terms in the expression \(3b + 4 + 10 + 6b - 2\), we will group the terms with \(b\) together and the constant terms together.

1. Combine the \(b\) terms:
\[
3b + 6b = 9b
\]

2. Combine the constant terms:
\[
4 + 10 - 2 = 12
\]

Now, putting it all together, the expression simplifies to:
\[
9b + 12
\]

So the final answer is:
\[
9b + 12
\]
