Part a: if (72)x = 1, what is the value of x? explain your answer. (5 points) part b: if (70)x = 1, what are the possible values of x? explain your answer

Part A) here we have 72*x = 1, and we want to know the value of x.

if we divide both sides by 72 we get:

=

so x= 1/72.

Part b) Here we have 70*x = 1, and we want to know the value of x.

if we divide both sides by 70 we get:

=

so x= 1/70 and is the unique possible value of x that solves this equation.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
