4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.
Start with
Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with
We have 
, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.
Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with
which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.
Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with
so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with 
.
By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any 
such that
is a solution to this system, i.e. 
for any integer 
, the smallest and positive of which is 149.
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d - 2)
First, simplify
to
/ Your problem should look like:
+
=
(d - 2)
Second, simplify
to
/ Your problem should look like:
+
=
Third, multiply both sides by 12 (the LCM of 6,4) / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3(d - 2)
Fourth, expand. / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3d - 6
Fifth, subtract 2d from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 = 3d - 6 - 2d
Sixth, simplify 3d - 6 - 2d to d - 6 / Your problem should look like: 8 = d - 6
Seventh,add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 + 6 = d
Eighth, simplify 8 + 6 to 14 / Your problem should look like:14 = d
Ninth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: d = 14
Answer:
d = 14
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
7+2n = 11
2n = 11-7
2n = 4
n = 4/2
therefore n = 2
Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)
[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11
