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:
2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
X + x + 24 = 58
x = (58-24)/2=17
the first number is 17 and the second number is the sum of 17 and 28. Finding it has been left as an exercise for the reader.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let he speed of the boat on the lake is x.
<u>Considering the speed of the current it will take him:</u>
- 22.5/(x + 6) + 22.5/(x - 6) = 9
- 2.5 / (x + 6) + 2.5 / (x - 6) = 1
- 2.5(x - 6 + x + 6) = (x + 6)(x - 6)
- 2.5*2x = x² - 36
- x² - 5x - 36 = 0
- x = (5 ± √(5² + 4*36))/2 = (5 ± 13) / 2
- x = (5 + 13)/2 = 9 mph (negative root is discarded as the speed should be positive)
Answer:
6x^2 -11x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x^2 + 3) - (6x + 4) + (3x^2 - 5x)
Distribute the minus sign
(3x^2 + 3) - 6x - 4) + (3x^2 - 5x)
Combine like terms
3x^2 + 3x^2 - 6x - 5x -4+3
6x^2 -11x -1
