G.E.D. might be fine if you already learned basic algebra. Otherwise better to do a normal course on Basic Mathematics and either a course on Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1.


4a%2B3b-2a-3b%2Ba
This is an expression combining the terms with either addition or subtraction. Combine like terms.

4a-2a%2Ba%2B3b-3b

%284a-2a%2Ba%29%2B%283b-3b%29

3a%2B0
highlight%283a%29


Explanations and steps can be made more detailed, but the work shown should be sufficient.
