Evaluate the expression (ab)2 for a = 4 and b = 3. a. 36 b. 24 c. 81 d.144

Option D = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are not putting the expression correctly. I'm assuming you are mean to say (ab)². This is because if you want to multiply by 2, the 2 usually goes first like this 2ab. But it's not case, so, it should be as I said.

Now, let's replace the values for a and b into the expression:

(ab)² = (4 * 3)² = (12)² = (12*12) = 144

That's is why is option D.

his chances of getting a coin of higher value is 4/19

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
