Work out the value of a and b in the identity.

3ax + 6 - 4 (x + b) = 11x + 14

a=5, b=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the equation, you get:

3ax + 6 - 4x - 4b - 11x - 14 = 0 = >

3ax - 15x - 4b - 8 = 0

group together x's and constants:

(3a-15) x - 8 - 4b = 0

To make this 0 for all x, we have to find an a such that 3a-15 = 0 and b such that - 8-4b = 0. this leads to a=5, b=-2
