Answer:

a = 4, b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand and simplify the given expression then compare coefficients of like terms.

a(bx + 5) - 2(bx + a)

= abx + 5a - 2bx - 2a

= (ab - 2b)x + 3a

Given that this expression is equal to 6x + 12

Comparing coefficients of like terms.

3a = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = 4

ab - 2b = 6 , that is

4b - 2b = 6

2b = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

b = 3

Thus a = 4 and b = 3

1. 1/8 = 0.125 You get this by dividing 1 by 8.
11. the square root of 25/4 is 5/2, or 2.5. You get this by square rooting the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
13. the cube root of 8 is 2, because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

Hope this helps

Between which two square roots of integers can you find pi
fomenos

Between two square roots of integers, you can  find pi are  square roots

  • √9
  • √10.

<h3>Between which two square roots of integers can you find pi?</h3>

In mathematics, the square root of a number x is a number y such that y2 = x. Another way to put this is to say that a square root of x is a number y whose square equals x.

The number that, when multiplied by itself, results in the value that is sought is referred to as the number's square root.

Since 3 < pi < 4,

√9 < pi √16

In conclusion, what this demonstrates is that the value of pi may be found anywhere between the square roots of -9 and -10.
