-1 is correct answer because
a= -2
b= 5 then
(-2^2-5)^3
(4-5)^3
(-1)^3
-1
Well, to factor out we have to find the gratest common factor of 54 and 24 which is 6. then divide both numbers by that number
54/6=9 24/6=4
6(9a+4b) is your final answer
The missing exponent is 22
The numbers are 3 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let one number be x. Then the other number = 6x.
Also, 6x = 12 + 2x
⇒ 4x = 12
⇒ x = 3
⇒ 6x = 18
