If $(ax+b)(2x+3)=20x^2+44x+21$, where $a$ and $b$ are two distinct integers, what is the value of the sum $a+b$?

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: , where a and b are two distinct integers.

First simplify left hand side as

Then comparing left side and right side

we get 2a = 20 (coefficient of ) , and 3b = 21  (constant term)

⇒ a= 10 and b= 7

Then, a+b= 10+7=17

Hence, the value of sum a+b is 17.
