Answer:
The least common multiple of 4 and 30 is 60
Hello from MrBillDoesMath
Answer: + 4/7, 6 (13/14)
Discussion:
Let L be the larger of the two numbers and S the smaller of the two. Then the first sentence translates into this:
-6L - L = -4 =>
-7L = -4 => (divide both sides by -7)
L = - (-4)/(-7) = + 4/7 (*)
The second sentence translates to
2 (L + S) = 15 => (divide both sides by 2)
(L +S) = 15/2 => (subtract L from each side)
S = 15/2 - L = 15/2 - 4/7 (using (*) above)
So
S = 15*7/(2*7) - (4*2)/(7*2) (combine over common denominator of 14)
S = 105/14 - 8/14 = 97/14 = 6 13/14
Something is crazy here! While 2(L +S) = 15 -- check it out -- our larger number L ( =4/7) is actually smaller than the S number (6 13/14)! Maybe I should have called them Y and X, respectively, as you suggested!
Thank you,
Mr. B
Answer:Honi made a mistake in Step 4. 50 divided by 1/4 is actually 200
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = - 3x. Equation 1
x + y = - 4 equation 2
Putting value of y
x + (-3x) = - 4
x - 3x = - 4
-2x = - 4
x = - 4/-2 = 2
Putting value of x in the equation 1
Y = - 3(2)
Y = - 6
