Find a and b if
2^a×3^b=12​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12=12

Step-by-step explanation:

2a = b

a -3b =12

To solve, set one of the equations equal to zero.  The first equation is actually already set to 0.

b = 2a

Now you can plug this equation into the other one, by substituting the b in the equation with this.

a -3b = 12

a – 3(2a) = 12

Now all you have to do is distribute the 3 (multiply the number outside the parenthesis, 3 in this case, by everything inside).

a – 6a = 12

Combine like terms.  Since we have 1 positive a and 6 negative ones, we subtract the two numbers without the signs

6-1 = 5

And take the sign of the larger number.  Since 6 is large and 6 is negative, we are left with

-5a = 12

Now solve for a, which in this case means dividing both sides by -5

a = -12/5

Simplify

a = -2.4

Now that you have a, it’s easy to find b

b = 2a

b = 2(-2.4)

b= -4.8

Now you check your work by plugging your new a and b into either equation to see if it’s true.

-4.8 = 2(-2.4)

-4.8 = -4.8

And just for laughs let’s try the other equation

 

a -3b =12

-2.4 – 3(-4.8) = 12

Distribute the 3 again.  Remember that when two negative numbers are multiplied they become positive.

-2.4 +14.4 = 12

12 = 12

If p p and q q vary inversely and p p is 14 when q q is 12, determine q q when p p is equal to 84.

Answers

Answer:

q = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p α 1/q

p = k/q

Where, k = constant of proportionality

p = 14 ; q = 12

We can obtain the value of k

p = k/q

14 = k/12

k = 14 * 12

k = 168

p = 168/q

pq = 168

q = 168 / p

Value of q, when p = 84

q = 168 / 84

q = 2

The sum of the speeds of two trains is 724.3 miles per hour. If the speed of the first train is 11.7 mph faster than that of the second​ train, find the speeds of each.

Answers

Answer:

A=368 miles

B= 356.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the two trains be A and B

A+B=724.3----------1

A-B=11.7--------------2

From eqn 1

A= 724.3-B

put this in place of A in eqn 2

724.3-B-B= 11.7

724.3-2B= 11.7

724.3-11.7= 2B

712.6=2B

B= 712.6/2

B= 356.3 miles

Put B=356.3 in eqn 1

A+356.3=724.3----------1

A= 724.3-356.3

A=368 miles
