Question
Find the following product:
$\Big(\frac{3}{4}\text{a}+\frac{2}{3}\text{b}\Big)(4\text{a}+3\text{b})$

Answer

$\Big(\frac{3}{4}\text{a}+\frac{2}{3}\text{b}\Big)(4\text{a}+3\text{b})$
$=\frac{3}{4}\text{a}\times (4\text{a}+3\text{b})+\frac{2}{3}\text{b}\times (4\text{a}+3\text{b})$
$=\Big(\frac{3}{4}\text{a}\times 4\text{a}+\frac{3}{4}\text{a}\times3\text{b}\big)+\Big(\frac{2}{3}\text{b}\times 4\text{a}+\frac{2}{3}\text{b}\times 3\text{b}\Big)$
$=3\text{a}^2+\frac{9}{4}\text{ab}+\frac{8}{3}\text{ba}+2\text{b}^2$
$=3\text{a}^2+\frac{59}{12}\text{ab}+2\text{b}^2$
