For two numbers, a & b, define the operation, "&" by: a&b = 2a(a-b)?

a). Find the value of 3 %26amp; 2


b). For what exact values of x is: 4 %26amp; x=42?


c). For what exact values of x is: x %26amp; 4 =42?

For two numbers, a %26amp; b, define the operation, "%26amp;" by: a%26amp;b = 2a(a-b)?
Just plug them in:





a) 2(3)(3 - 2) = 6





b) 4%26amp;x = 2(4)(4 - x) = 42





8(4 - x) = 42





32 - 8x = 42





and you should be able to finish it from there.





c) works pretty much the same as (b).
Reply:Kind of a confusing way to ask it, but I think I get what your asking...





Replace 'a' and 'b' with 3 and 2. Then you will have your answer! The rest of the questions follow after the first.
