Let's represent the two numbers by x and y. Then xy=60. The smaller number here is x=y-7.
Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191. Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
-(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
-2(1)
and
-(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
-2(1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.
Try thinking this way: If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60. What would happen if x=5 and y=12? Is xy = 60? Yes. Is 5 seven less than 12? Yes.

Hello!
The find the volume of a cone you divide the product of the base and height by 3. First we find the area using

r².
A=49(3.14)=153.86
Now we multiply this by the height.
153.86(18)=2769.48
Now we divide by 3.
2769.48/3=923.16
Now we divide this number by 21 to see how many days it will take for the container to become empty.
923.16/21=43.96≈44
Therefore, our answer is
A) 44 days.
I hope this helps!
