The Simplest form of the expression is equals to [tex]=\rm 10.7\times a - 8.1 \times b[/tex]
Given : =[tex]\rm (14.2\cdot a + 9.8\cdot b ) - (13.1\cdot b -0.2\cdot a)- (3.7\cdot a + 4.8\cdot b)[/tex]
On solving further we get,
[tex]= (14.2\times a + 9.8\times b) -(13.1\times b - 0.2\times a) - (3.7\times a + 4.8\times b)\\ = 14.2\times a+9.8\times b-13.1\times b+0.2\times a-3.7\times a-4.8\times b\\=(14.2\times a+0.2\times a-3.7\times a)+(9.8\times b-13.1\times b-4.8\times b)\\=10.7\times a- 8.1\times b \;\;\;\ \rm is\; the \;Simplest\;form \;of \;the\; given \;quation.[/tex]
