Write an expression to represent how much shorter the base is compared to the side: 4x + b is the base and ax + 9 is the side, it's a triangle btw

Answer :

Answer:

The required expression would be (a-4)x + (9-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In the triangle,

Base = 4x + b,

Side = ax + 9

Since, Side - base = [tex](ax + 9) - (4x + b)[/tex]

[tex]=ax + 9 - 4x - b[/tex]

[tex]=ax - 4x + 9 - b[/tex]

[tex]=(a-4)x + (9-b)[/tex]

That is,

The base is (a-4)x + (9-b) shorter compared to the side.
