Two integers, a and b have product of -48 what is the greatest possible sum of a and b.

Mathematics

The factors of 48 are:
1 x 48
2 x 24
3 x 16
4 x 12
6 x 8
and visa versa:   48 x 1  etc.

To make the product negative, one of the factors has to be positive and one has to be negative.  To find the greatest sum, make the bigger number the positive factor and the smaller number the negative factor.  So, -1 x 48 = -48 and the sum of -1 + 48 = 47 which would be the greatest possible sum.

From order of operations, we do multiply/divide first, then add/subtract. So:
(I assume that is 8 times 2, and 5 times x, solving for x)

6+8<span>⋅</span>2 = 5x
6 + 16 = 5x
22 = 5x
x = 22/5 (twenty two fifths)

Todd has twice as many songs in his playlist as Vlad. Becca has three times as many songs in her playlist as Todd. If all three
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Todd has 540540 songs in his playlist.

Vlad has 270270 songs in his playlist.

Becca has 162162 songs in her playlist.

Step-by-step explanation:

# of songs Todd has = T

# of songs Vlad has = V

# of songs Becca has = B

1) Todd has twice as many songs in his playlist as Vlad:

T=2V

2) Becca has three times as many songs in her playlist as Todd:

B=3T

3) All three people have a total of 243243 songs in their playlists:

T+V+B=243243

Because T=2V then you can substitute T as 2V in the second equation:

B=3(2V)

B=6V

Now in the final equation, you can substitute everything for V:

2V+V+6V=243243

9V=243243

V=27027

Now substitute for T:

T+1/2T+3T=243243

9/2T=243243

T=54054

Now substitute for B:

1/3B+1/6B+B=243243

3/2B=243243

B=162162

Check answers:

27027+54054+162162=243243

243243=243243

Help please...I don't get this (40 points and I'll give brainliest)
dexar [7]

A x = 0

using the law of exponents a^{0} = 1

for (6² )^ x = 1 then x = 0

B note that 6^{0} = 1 ⇒ x = 1

2 → 2^8 × 3^(-5) × 1^(-2) × 3^(-8) × 2^(-12) × 2^(28)

= 2^(8 -12 + 28) × 1 × 3^(- 5 - 8)

= 2^24 × 3^(- 13) = 2^(24)/3^(13) = 10.523 ( 3 dec. places)
