Step-by-step explanation:
What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.
in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.
for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (
2
⋅
2
⋅
3
=
12
)
and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (
3
⋅
5
=
15
)
Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.
Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:
12
3
=
4
girls per group, and
15
3
=
5
boys per group.
(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [
2
⋅
2
] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
Answer:
x = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(When solving for a variable, always do the opposite of PEMDAS)
-5 + 4 = 3x - 9
-1 = 3x - 9
8 = 3x
8/3 = x
You can do
83 - 5 to find the answer
So that's
78 or
5 + 78 = 83
Answer:
-sinx
Step-by-step explanation:
a trig identity that is crucial to solving this problem is: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
with knowing that, you can manipulate that and turn it into 1 - sin^2x = cos^x
so 1-sin^2x/sinx - cscx becomes cos^2x/sinx - cscx
it is also important to know that cscx is the same thing as 1/sinx
knowing this information, cscx can be replaced with 1/sinx
(cos^2x)/(sinx - 1/sinx)
now sinx and 1/sinx do not have the same denominator, so we need to multiply top and bottom of sinx by sinx; it becomes....
cos^2x
---------------------
(sin^2x - 1)/sinx
notice how in the denominator it has sin^2x-1 which is equal to -cos^2x
so now it becomes:
cos^2x
--------------
-cos^2x/sinx
because we have a fraction over a fraction, we need to flip it
cos^2x sinx
---------- * ----------------
1 - cos^2x
because the cos^2x can cancel out, it becomes 1
now the answer is -sinx
