Answer:

  • The value of a = 5.8
  • The value of b = 4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7.2, a, b, 3 are in A.P

2a = 7.2+b

b = 2a - 7.2

as

a, b, 3 are also in A.P

2b\:=\:a\:+\:3

Putting b = 2a - 7.2

2\left(2a-7.2\right)=a+3

4a-14.4=a+3

\mathrm{Add\:}14.4\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}

4a-14.4+14.4=a+3+14.4

4a=a+17.4

4a-a=a+17.4-a

3a=17.4

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3

\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{17.4}{3}

a=5.8

Now, plugging a=5.8 in b = 2a - 7.2

b=2\left(5.8\right)-7.2

b=2\cdot \:5.8-7.2

b=11.6-7.2

b=4.4

Therefore,

  • The value of a = 5.8
  • The value of b = 4.4

{(24p – 66) = 3p + 43
Alenkinab [10]

\text {Hello! Let's Solve this Equation!}

\text {\underline {The First Step is to Subtract 3p}}

\text {24p-66-3p=3p+43-3p}

\text {Your New Problem Is: 21p-66=43}

\text {\underline {The Next Step Is to Add 66}}

\text {21p-66+66=43+66}

\text {Your New Problem Is: 21p=109}

\text {\underline {The Final Step is to Divide 21}}

\text {21p/21=109/21}

\text {Your Answer Would Be:}

\fbox {p=109/21}

\text {Best of Luck!}

Round to the nearest hundredth 42.052
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
42.052

place value and digits:

4 = tens
2 = ones
0 = tenths
5 = hundredths
2 = thousandths

5 is in the hundredths place. To find if you round up or down, look at the digit to the right (thousandths in this case). It is a 2, which is less than 5, so you round down.

42.052 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 42.05

hope this helps
