Answer:
64 builders must be employed to build a house in 16 days
Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find two expressions that, when simplified, give the same results.
1) First, simplify the expression stated in the question. Multiply each of the terms in the parentheses by the number that is next to them. This would mean you have to multiply both 9x and -6 by
. You also have to multiply
and
by 4. Then, simplify.

2) Now, combine the like terms.


So, we need to find which of the expressions listed equal 8x - 6.
3) Let's try option A. Do the same as before. Multiply each of the terms in the parentheses by the number that is next to them. So, multiply 4x and -12 by
. Also, multiply 30x and 18 by
. Then, combine like terms and simplify.

This also equals 8x - 6. Therefore, option A is the answer.
Option C:
is the value of a and b
Explanation:
Given that the expression 
We need to determine the value of a and b
Let us consider the term
and take the prime factorization of the term 648
Thus, we have,
648 divides by 2,

324 divides by 2,

162 divides by 2,

81 divides by 3,

27 divides by 3,

9 divides by 3,

Thus, we have,

Therefore, equating the powers of 2 and 3, we get,

Hence, the value of a and b is 3 and 4
Thus, Option C is the correct answer.
