It helps to imagine the variable a sort of as a unit. Like with 5 minus 12 lemons, it has no bearings on the addition/subtraction here.
Factor out a and subtract.
Answer:
60inches
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times 4 equals 12. 12 times 5 equals 60. so the volume should be 60 inches.
Tough call.
You may have to use Newton's Method or something like that.
Graph y=2^x and then graph n/x on the same set of axes. You may have to assign some arbitrary value to n to make this work. From the graph you can read off the approximate coordinates of the point of intersection.
233 base five = 2 x 5^2 + 3 x 5 + 3 x 1 = 2 x 25 + 15 + 3 = 50 + 18 = 68 base 10
11000 base two = 1 x 2^4 + 1 x 2^3 = 16 + 8 = 24 base ten
43E base twelve = 4 x 12^2 + 3 x 12 + 11 x 1 = 4 x 144 + 36 + 11 = 576 + 47 = 623 base ten
