Advertisements
Solution
(a + b - 3) + (b - a + 3) + (a - b + 3)
= a + b - 3 + b - a + 3 + a - b + 3
= a - a + a + b + b - b - 3 + 3 + 3
= a (1 - 1 + 1) + b (1 + 1 - 1) + 3 (-1 + 1 + 1)
= a + b + 3

At age of 2 years, a cat or a dog is considered 24 “human” years old. Each year, after age 2 is equivalent to 4 “human” years. Fill in the expression [24 + 
(a – 2)] so that it represents the age of a cat or dog in human years. Also, you need to determine for what ‘a’ stands for. Copy the chart and use your expression to complete it.
