and B, equals, 3, m, plus, 4, commaB=3m+4, find an expression that equals 2, A, plus, 3, B2A+3B in standard form.

1 answer

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 \( 2A + 3B \):

  1. Calculate \( 2A \): \[ 2A = 2(-3 + m^2) = 2(-3) + 2(m^2) = -6 + 2m^2 \]

  2. Calculate \( 3B \): \[ 3B = 3(3m + 4) = 3 \cdot 3m + 3 \cdot 4 = 9m + 12 \]

  3. 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: \[ \boxed{2m^2 + 9m + 6} \]
