Mathematics

-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:

  (d)  A = 18 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Line CE can be considered to be the base of two triangles. It is 6 units long. The upper triangle is 4 units high, and the lower triangle is 2 units high. The formula for the area of a triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh

Then the sum of the areas of the two triangles is ...

  A = 1/2(6)(4) +1/2(6)(2) = 12 +6 = 18

The area of the polygon is 18 square units.

Answer:

110687192.78951, 6488.47368421, 4214, 0.0464, 0.03626

SIMPLIFIED WAY OF SAYING IT:

Last One to First Box

3rd One to 2nd Box

1st one to 3rd box

2nd one to 4th box

4th one to 5th box

Step-by-step explanation:

(4.3*10^(6))*(9.8*10^(-4)) = 4,214

(2.9*10^7)*(1.6*10^-9) = 0.0464

(4.7*10^3)*(8.6*10^-7)/(3.8*10^-4)*(6.1*10^2) = 6488.47368421

(4.9*10^3)*(7.4*10^-6) = 0.03626

Last one = 110687192.78951
