Answer: −22
Step-by-step explanation:
=−14−8
=−14+−8
=−22
-144= -1×2a×3b
144=2a×3b
144= 6ab
24= ab
a,b could b any two factors that have a product of 24
For example a,b could = 6,4 or 8,3 or 24,1
Answer:
This question is tricky because it could have multiple answers: for example is a,b= 6,4 then a+b= 10, but if a,b=24+1=25. So, the answer is that the sum of a+b varies depending on which 2 factors of 24 a and b are equal to. Does this make sense?
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
4x7=28
14x2=28
3x + 2y = 10 .....multiply by -2
2x + 3y = 15/2...multiply by 3
------------------
-6x - 4y = -20 (result of multiplying by -2)
6x + 9y = 22.5 (result of multiplying by 3)
-----------------add
5y = 2.5
y = 2.5/5
y = 1/2
3x + 2y = 10
3x + 2(1/2) = 10
3x + 1 = 10
3x = 10 - 1
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
solution is (3,-1/2)
ANSWER: x = 1/3
WORKING OUT:
2 times x times 3 = 2
6 times x = 2
x = 1/3
