Hi there! 

In order to solve, we'll need to use a proportion: 20/a = 21/20. Then, we'll cross-multiply and solve to find a: 21a = 400 | a = 19.05. Next, to find b, we can just use pythagorean theorem: 20^2 + (400/21)^2 = b^2 | b = 27.62.
We are using geometric mean to solve for a, then using pythagorean theorem to solve for b. If you need more help with geometric mean, or would like a complete explanation, please let me know! I'd be happy to provide you with that information.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

If 2a+3b=12 and ab=6 find the value of 8a^3+27b^3
Alex17521 [72]
<span>A) 2a + 3b = 12
B) ab = 6 solving for a
B) a = 6 / b then we substitute this into equation A)
</span><span>A) 12 / b + 3b = 12  </span><span>multiplying this by "b"
A) 12 + 3b^2 = 12b
A) 3b^2 -12b +12= 0 dividing by "3"
A) b^2 -4b + 4 = 0
Factoring
(b-2) * (b-2) = 0
b = 2
Since b = 2 then a = 3

</span>NOW, we put these numbers into:
<span>8a^3 +27b^3 </span>
8*3*3*3 + 27*2*2*2
216 + 216
The answer is 512

50 students were asked what they did last night. 16 said they read a book, 41 said they watched TV, 7 said they did neither, how
Kamila [148]

Answer:

14 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

b \to read a book

t \to watched TV

So, we have:

n = 50 -- total

b = 16

t = 41

none = 7

Required

Students that did both (x)

This is calculated using:

Total = Books\ only + TV\ only + Both + None

So, we have:

n = (b - x) + (t - x) + x + none

This gives:

50 = (16 - x) + (41 - x) + x + 7

Open brackets

50 = 16 - x + 41 - x + x + 7

50 = 16 - x + 41 +7

Collect like terms

x = 16 - 50 + 41 +7

x = 14

<em>Hence, 14 students did both</em>
