Sierra has a recipe she wants to make. She has to use eggs and sticks of butter. The ratio for these ingredients is 12 to 4 to make 4 batches. What will the equivalent ratio be if she wants to make 8 batches? What if she wants to make 2 batches?

The answer would be 16b^2 - 14b + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we simply need to group the terms by their variable values. We will start with the b^2 terms.

5b^2 + 24b^2 - 13b^2 = 16b^2

Now we can use all of the b terms.

-5b - 8b - b = -14b

And finally, we'll do all the constants.

4 - 1 = 3

Using all three of these together will give us the simplified form.
