If A + B = 15 and A - B = 3, what is the value of 4AB?
If A + B = 15 and A - B = 3, what is the value of 4AB?
Explanation
A + B = 15 ... (1)
A - B = 3 ... (2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get:
2A = 18
A = 9
Substituting A into (1), we get:
9 + B = 15
B = 6
Now that we have the values of A and B, we can find the value of AB:
AB = 9 × 6 = 54
Finally, we can find the value of 4AB:
4AB = 4 × 54 = 216
