Jewelery maker has
24 jade beads
30 teak Beads
So we need to find the highest common factor for both 24 and 30
The factors for both numbers are
24 -1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
30 - 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
The highest common factor for both is 6
The greatest number of necklaces she can make is 6
Number of jade beads - 24/6 = 4 jade beads
Number of teak beads - 30/6 = 5 teak beads
So each necklace will have 4 jade beads and 5 teak beads
Answer:
x=1y
Step-by-step explanation:
Set each factor equal to zero and solve.
x + 6 = 0 x - 3 = 0
x = - 6 x = 3
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be a and b.
Therefore,
a - b = 3 ....... i
a + b = 13 ....... ii
From equation I, a = 3 + b
Put a = 3+b into equation ii
a + b = 13
3 + b + b = 13
3 + 2b = 13
2b = 13 - 3
2b = 10
b = 10/2
b = 5
Since a = 3 + b
a = 3 + 5
a = 8
The product of the numbers will be:
= 8 × 5
= 40
Symmetric property of an Equality
