Suppose a and b are integers. How many solutions are there to the equation ab = 2a + 3b?

1 answer:

6 0

The equation is ab = 2a + 3b
Then, ab = 2a + 3b
We will solve for "a" we get,

1) Add -2a to both the sides of the equation,

-2a + ab = 2a + -2a + 3b

On solving we get,

- 2a + ab = 3b

Again we have reached the same equation with which we started. We cannot determine the roots of the equation

Thus, There are no solutions to this equation.

8h/3+19
Move all terms to the left
8-(h/3+19)=0
Get rid of parentheses
-h/3-19+8=0
Multiply all terms by denominator
-h-19*3+8*3=0
Add all numbers and variables together
-1h-33=0
Move all terms containing h to the left all other terms to the right
-h=33
h=33/-1
h=-33
