Hi there! The answer is 18.

First we need to solve the first equation for b.
$4b - 3 = 2b$

Subtract 2b from both sides.
$2b - 3 = 0$

Add 3 to both sides.
$2b = 3$

Divide both sides by 2.
$b = \frac{3}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2}$

Now we can plug our value of b into the second expression.
$12b = 12 \times 1 \frac{1}{2} = 18$

How many different ways are there to choose a subset of the set {1,2,3,4,5,6} so that the product of the members of the subset i

zvonat [6]

You have to pick at least one even factor from the set to make an even product.

There are 3 even numbers to choose from, and we can pick up to 3 additional odd numbers.

For example, if we pick out 1 even number and 2 odd numbers, this can be done in

$\dbinom 31 \dbinom 32 = 3\cdot3 = 9$

ways. If we pick out 3 even numbers and 0 odd numbers, this can be done in

$\dbinom 33 \dbinom 30 = 1\cdot1 = 1$

way.

The total count is then the sum of all possible selections with at least 1 even number and between 0 and 3 odd numbers.

$\displaystyle \sum_{e=1}^3 \binom 3e \sum_{o=0}^3 \binom 3o = 2^3 \sum_{e=1}^3 \binom3e = 8 \left(\sum_{e=0}^3 \binom3e - \binom30\right) = 8(2^3 - 1) = \boxed{56}$
