Answer 1

The quantity a is equal to the sum of 2 and the product of 3 and squared b .

Explanation:

Given :
`a = 3b^2 + 2`

To Find: Write the expression in words

Solution:

`a = 3b^2 + 2`

`3b^2` can be written as the product of 3 and squared b

`3b^2+2` can be written as the sum of 2 and the product of 3 and squared b .

So,
`a = 3b^2 + 2` can be written as the quantity a is equal to the sum of 2 and the product of 3 and squared b .

Hence the quantity a is equal to the sum of 2 and the product of 3 and squared b .

Answer 2

a = 3b^2 + 2

The quantity a is equal to three times the square of b, plus 2.
