Question

Here is an identity.

a(4x 10) = 24x + 5b
Work out the values of a and b.
i know a is equal to 6 but im stuck with b

Answer 1

b = 12

Explanation:

If we substitute a = 6 and simplify the given equation, we get:

6(4x 10) = 24x + 5b

Simplifying the left-hand side, we get:

24x + 60 = 24x + 5b

Subtracting 24x from both sides, we get:

60 = 5b

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

12 = b

Therefore, the values of a and b are a = 6 and b = 12.
