To find an expression that equals \( 2A + 3B \) in standard form, we first need to substitute the given expressions for \( A \) and \( B \).
Given: \[ A = -3 + m^2 \] \[ B = 3m + 4 \]
Now, substitute these expressions into \( 2A + 3B \):
-
Calculate \( 2A \): \[ 2A = 2(-3 + m^2) = 2(-3) + 2(m^2) = -6 + 2m^2 \]
-
Calculate \( 3B \): \[ 3B = 3(3m + 4) = 3 \cdot 3m + 3 \cdot 4 = 9m + 12 \]
-
Now add \( 2A \) and \( 3B \): \[ 2A + 3B = (-6 + 2m^2) + (9m + 12) \]
Combine the terms: \[ = 2m^2 + 9m + (-6 + 12) \] \[ = 2m^2 + 9m + 6 \]
The expression \( 2A + 3B \) in standard form is: \[ \boxed{2m^2 + 9m + 6} \]
