Question

a+b=46 and a-b=14 how many ways to determine the values of ab
​

Answer 1

Answer:

ab = 480

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 46

a - b = 14

Adding both equations, we get,

2a = 60 ⇒ a = 30

Using a = 30 in the first equation , we get,

30 + b = 46  ⇒ b = 46 - 30 ⇒ b = 16

ab = a * b = 30 * 16 = 480

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer will be 480.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason explained:

Given that:

a+b=46 & a=b=14. So, we form an equation.

a+b+a-b=14+46

2a=60

a=60/2                                                                              [Transposition]

b=16

a=30

a+b=46

30+b=46                                                                          

b=46-30                                                                             [Transposition]

b=16

Since you have your values, after multiplying the numbers, you will get 480 as your final answer.
