Answer:

The answer is x=a^{-1}cb^{-1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is important to recall that the group law is not commutative in general, so we cannot assume it here. In order to solve the exercise we need to remember the axioms of group, specially the existence of the inverse element, i.e., for each element g\in G there exist another element, denoted by g^{-1} such that gg^{-1}=e, where e stands for the identity element of G.

So, given the equality axb=c we make a left multiplication by a^{-1} and we obtain:

a^{-1}axb =a^{-1}c.

But, a^{-1}axb = exb = xb. Hence, xb = a^{-1}c.

Now, in the equality xb = a^{-1}c we make a right multiplication by b^{-1}, and we obtain

xbb^{-1} = a^{-1}cb^{-1}.

Recall that bb^{-1}=e and xe=x. Therefore,

x=a^{-1}cb^{-1}.

If the lines a and b in the diagram below are parallelm why do angles 2 and 6 measure 60 degree angles
Bas_tet [7]
Angles 2 and 6 are corresponding angles, which would explain why they are congruent if lines a and b are parallel, but there is nothing in the problem to explain that any of the angles equals 60 degrees since no measurements were given in the diagram.

Order the following greatest to least <br><br> 1. 10kg<br> 2. 100g<br> 3. 1,000,000mg
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

<em>1, 2, 3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the three units, the <em>kilogram</em> is the largest and the <em>milligram</em> is the smallest. The prefix “<em>kilo</em>” means a thousand and “<em>milli</em>” means one-thousandths.

1,000,000mg = 1kg  

1kg = 1,000g
