-144 is -1 x 2a x 3b what is the sum of a+b?

Mathematics
1 answer:
BigorU [14]3 years ago
7 0
-144= -1×2a×3b
144=2a×3b
144= 6ab
24= ab

a,b could b any two factors that have a product of 24
For example a,b could = 6,4 or 8,3 or 24,1 

Answer:
This question is tricky because it could have multiple answers: for example is a,b= 6,4 then a+b= 10, but if a,b=24+1=25. So, the answer is that the sum of a+b varies depending on which 2 factors of 24 a and b are equal to. Does this make sense?

Answer:

See the graph of the given inequality in the attachment as shown below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality: m > 2.8

To graph this inequality on the number line.

Remember:

  • If the symbol is (\geq or \leq) then you fill in the dot
  • If  the symbol is (> or then you do not fill in the dot.

Since, in the given inequality the symbol is '>'

Now, sketch a number line and draw an open circle around the number 2.8.

You can see the number line as shown below in the attachment.

4% of _____ days is 56 days
schepotkina [342]
We have an equation: 56/? = 4/100

Cross multiply:
4*? = 56*100
⇒ ? = 56*100/4
⇒ ?= 1,400

4% of 1,400 days is 56 days~

Infotron Inc makes electronic hockey and soccer games. Each hockey game requires 2​ labor-hours of assembly and 2​ labor-hours o
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

<u>Infotron should produce each day 13 hockey and 6 soccer games</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Number of hockey games Infotron should produce

y = Number of soccer games Infotron should produce

Number of labor-hours for assembly = 2x + 3y

Number of labor-hours for testing = 2x + y

Now we can write our equations system, this way:

2x + 3y = 44

2x + y = 32

*********************

Expressing y in terms of x in the 2nd equation:

2x + y = 32

y = 32 - 2x

********************

Substituting y and solving for x in the 1st equation:

2x + 3y = 44

2x + 3 * ( 32 - 2x) = 44

2x + 96 - 6x = 44

-4x = 44 - 96

-4x = - 52

x = -52/-4

x = 13

*****************

Solving for y in the 2nd equation:

2x + y = 32

2 * 13 + y = 32

26 + y = 32

y = 32 - 26

y =<u> 6</u>

<u>Infotron should produce each day 13 hockey and 6 soccer games</u>

Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve.
leonid [27]

Answer:

As an equation: 15 × x = -75

Solved: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

15*x = -75

\frac{15*x}{15} = -\frac{75}{15}, Divide by 15 on both sides to solve for x

x=-\frac{75}{15}, The 15 in the numerator cancels out with the denominator

x= -5, because 75/15=5
