We see it's a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 9 because the sum of the digits is 18.

Let's take out the factors of 2 and 3 and see what's left.

15552/2 = 7776

7776/2 = 3888

3888/2 = 1944

1944/2 = 972

972/2 = 486

486/2 = 243

243/3 = 81 = 3(3)(3)(3)

Putting it together,

$15552 = 2^{6} 3^{5}$

C an anyone solve this 3(2b + 3)2 = 36<br> and if so what is it

Natali [406]

$3(2b + 3)^2 = 36$

Divide by 3 on both sides:
$(2b + 3)^2 = 12$

Square root both sides:
$2b + 3= \pm \sqrt{12}$

Take away 3 from both sides:
$2b= \pm \sqrt{12} - 3$

Divide by 2 on both sides:
$b= \dfrac{ \sqrt{12} -3 }{2} \ or \ b= \dfrac{ -\sqrt{12} -3 }{2}$

Answer:
$b= 0.23 \ or \ -3.23$
