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

-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:

The answer is C(x) = 60x + 14 and the answer to the second one is 7 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) =60x + 14

434 = 60x + 14

-14 -14

420 = 60x

/60 /60

7 = x

or

x = 7 days

Answer:

1). a = 9.42 m

2). b = 6.37 m

3). c = 4.48 m

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

By applying tangent rule in triangle ADE,

tan47 = $\frac{h}{c}$

c = $\frac{h}{\text{tan}47}$

c = $\frac{4.8}{\text{tan}47}$

c = 4.476

c ≈ 4.48 m

Now we apply the same rule in triangle ACE,

tan37° = $\frac{h}{b}$

b = $\frac{h}{\text{tan}37}$

b = $\frac{4.8}{1.0724}$

b = 6.37 m

Now apply the tangent in triangle ABE,

tan27° = $\frac{h}{a}$

a = $\frac{h}{\text{tan}27}$

a = $\frac{4.8}{0.5095}$

a = 9.42 m
