If we subtract $4a - 7ab + 3b + 12$ from $12a - 9ab + 5b - 3,$ then the answer is:
- ✓
$8a - 2ab + 2b - 15$
- B
$8a + 2ab + 2b - 15$
- C
$8a - 2ab - 2b - 15$
- D
$8a + 2ab + 2b + 15$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $8a - 2ab + 2b - 15$
$(12a - 9ab + 5b - 3) - (4a - 7ab + 3b + 12)$
$= 12a - 9ab + 5b - 3 - 4a + 7ab - 3b - 12$
$= (12 - 4)a - (9 - 7)ab + (5 - 3)b - 3 - 12$
$= 8a - 2ab + 2b - 15$

Product of $6a^2 - 7b + 5ab$ and $2ab$ is:
AnswerCorrect option: B. $12a^3b - 14ab^2 + 10a^2b^2$
B. $12a^3b - 14ab^2 + 10a^2b^2$
Solution:
Required product $= 2ab × (6a^2 - 7b + 5ab)$
This is the product of a trinomial by a monomial, so we multiply monomial with each term of the trinomial.
$= 2ab \times (6a^2 - 7b + 5ab) = 2ab \times 6a^2 + 2ab(-7b) + 2ab \times 5ab$
$= 12a^3b - 14ab^2 + 10a^2b^2$
