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

1 answer:

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: y=3/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the equation, we can figure out that the cost depends on how many tickets are bought. We can use cost as our y and # of tickets as our x.

An equation in slope intercept form is as follows:

y=mx+b

To get our slope, we must figure out the relationship between the cost and the number of tickets, or the y and the x.

We can use the slope formula, $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ , to find the slope, m.
