Answer:
a = (-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly clear the bracket...,
-6(-2 + a) = 12 - 6a
Then substitute the simplified version in place of bracket...,
; 12 - 6a = 54
; -6a = 54 - 12
; -6a = 42...then divide both sides by (-6)
Therefore...., a = (-7)

Answer: (3b + 5)(3b - 5)
Because both terms, 9b² and 25, are perfect squares, you can factor by taking the square roots of both terms.
The square root of 9b² is 3b (3b × 3b = 9b²).
The square root of 25 is 5 (5 × 5 = 25).
9b² - 25 has a negative, so the factored expression would be
(3b + 5)(3b - 5). The signs (+ and -) alternate in this case because the expression, 9b² - 25, has no middle term.
You can check your work by using FOIL. See the attachment below.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question.
The open interval: (- 18,22).
Let p belong to the given interval then p represents all the values belonging to the given interval.
Open Interval: An open interval is a interval that does not include the end points.
Thus, we can write:
is the required inequality form required.
That is p can take values greater than -18 and smaller than 22.
