-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?

explanation :

I know that Car A can go at least 28 more miles than Car B. If you round 10.5 to the nearest ones place it would be 11; and if you round 12.5 to the nearest ones place it would be 13 so 13 - 11 = 2

Answer:

90deg

Step-by-step explanation:

If the angles are supplementary, that means mA + mB = 180*

we know that

mA = (2x + 8)deg

mB = (2x + 8)deg = mA

mA + mB = 180deg

mB + mB = 2mB = 180deg

mB = 90deg

Note, that we did not need to compute x even, because the angles were the same.
