If 3ab=6, what is the value of a in terms of b?
a. 2
b. 2/b
c. 2b^2
d. 2b
e. 2b^2
My answer is d, but not sure, anyone can tell me right or wrong?
3ab=6
3a=6b
a=2b
3ab=6
ab =2
a =2/b
answer b
You are correct! To solve for a in terms of b, you can divide both sides of the equation 3ab = 6 by 3 to isolate a:
3ab/3 = 6/3
ab = 2
Now to solve for a, you can divide both sides of the equation ab = 2 by b:
ab/b = 2/b
a = 2/b
So the answer is b. 2/b. Good job!
