Explain why 2a+3b=5ab

Mathematics

Ahat [919]3 years ago

That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.

If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a

Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b

Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab

The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.

1/3 + 1/4 and the the sinplest form
Verizon [17]
The least common multiple between 3 and 4 is 12, so we can use this fact to rewrite both 1/3 and 1/4 in 12ths:

\big( \frac{1}{3}\times \frac{4}{4}\big) + \big(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{3}\big)=\\ = \frac{4}{12}+ \frac{3}{12}\\\\ = \frac{7}{12}

We're left with an answer of 7/12, which can't be reduced.

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram A B C D has points (3, 6), (6, 5), (5, 1), and (2, 2).
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

13 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the distance between the points using the  

Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c²

(3,6) and (6,5); 6 - 3 = 3 and 6 - 5 = 1

3² + 1² = c²

9 + 1 = c²

c = √10

(6,5) and (5,1); 6 - 5 = 1 and 5 - 1 = 4

1² + 4² = c²

1 + 16 = c²

c = √17

√17 + √10 = 13.038

The product of a number and 7 is less than 28.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

3.9 or less

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 4 times 7 is equal to 28, so it has to be less than that!
