3(6+b)=19

18+3b=19

3b=1

b=1/3

so then a+b= 1/3+6

1/3+6=

19/3 or 6 1/3

Hello!

In a really simple way, 3 times our answer is 19. We can just divide to find it.

19/3= 6 1/3

Anyway, it might be nice to solve the equation for b. If a=6, then b has to be 1/3, but let's check.

18+3b=19

3b=1

b=1/3

Therefore, a+b= 6 1/3

I hope this helps!

When dividing fractions, the divisor must be inverted then multiplied with the other fraction?
Lana71 [14]
Yes. That statement is true.

For example in : (1/2) divided by (3/4), you would invert 3/4 to make 4/3 and change the divide symbol to the multiply symbol. Becoming:

(1/2) multiplied by (4/3)<em> = </em><em>(1/2) divided by (3/4) = 0.66r</em>

Consider the function f(x)= (x+4)(x-2) what is the equation of the axis of symmetry
almond37 [142]

if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

\bf 0 = (x+4)(x-2)\implies \begin{cases} 0=x+4\implies &-4=x\\ 0=x-2\implies &2=x \end{cases}

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.

well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys

-4------------(-1)------------2

so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Please help me factor this!! Thanks!
Goryan [66]
We need to find two numbers that multiply to 24 (last coefficient) and add to 10 (middle coefficient). Through trial and error, the two values are 6 and 4

6 + 4 = 10
6*4 = 24

So we can break up the 10ab into 6ab+4ab and then use factor by grouping

a^2 + 10ab + 24b^2
a^2 + 6ab + 4ab + 24b^2
(a^2+6ab) + (4ab+24b^2)
a(a+6b) + 4b(a+6b)
(a+4b)(a+6b)

Therefore, the original expression factors completely to (a+4b)(a+6b)
