12^2=144
144 is divided by b which also is an odd interger, there only 2 numbers : 1 and 3
if b=3, a^2=48, then there will be no a available
if b=1 , a^2=144, then a is 12 and 12 can not be divided by 9
The answer is D
Answer:
t = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Instead of randomly guessing values of "t" that will satisfy the equation, you can easily find the correct value by solving the equation in terms of "t". In other words, you can set the equation equal to "t" to find the final answer.
(-2/3)t - 2 = -3 <----- Original equation
(-2/3)t = -1 <----- Add 2 to both sides
t = 3/2 <----- Divide both sides by -2/3
You can check this value by plugging it into "t" and determining whether both sides of the equations will be equal.
(-2/3)t - 2 = -3 <----- Original equation
(-2/3)(3/2) - 2 = -3 <----- Plug 3/2 into "t"
-6/6 - 2 = -3 <----- Multiply -2/3 and 3/2
-1 - 2 = -3 <----- Simplify -6/6
-3 = -3 <----- Subtract
A. all number greater than a will be to the RIGHT of a
b. all numbers less than a will be to the LEFT of a
