In order to find how many times they will blink at the same time we need to find the common multiple of 4 and 6 between 1 and 60.

The first bulb blinks after every 4 seconds, means it blinks in multiple of 4.

The multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60.

The second bulb blinks after every 6 seconds, means it blinks in multiple of 6.

The multiples of 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60.

The common multiple of 4 and 6 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60.

∴

in sixty seconds they will blink 5 times at the same time.

cluponka [151]

Answer:z=47

Step-by-step explanation:

You're doing this because if you have z-31=16 you have to + 31 to 16 which would give you 47 then that would be a one step equation

z-31=16

you would make a line between the equal sign so it is organized then plus 31 to sixteen then that would get you to 47
