GCF means greatest common factor and LCM means Least common multiple.

GCF is greatest common factor, for example the GCF of 4 (1, 2, 4) and 12 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12) is for because that is the biggest factor they have in common.

LCM is lowest common multiple, for example the LCM of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, etc.) and 12 (12, 24, 36, 48, 60, etc.) is 12 because that is the smallest multiple they have in common.

You really need to know the difference between a factor and a multiple to understand it.

Hope this helps. :)

Which of the following is a solution for the absolute value inequality |2x – 3| > 6?

Mice21 [21]

This breaks into two inequalities:

2x - 3 > 6

and

-2x + 3 > 6

------------------------

2x - 3 > 6

Add 3 to both sides:

2x > 9

Divide 2 to both sides:

x > 4.5

-----------------------

-2x + 3 > 6

Subtract 3 to both sides:

-2x > 3

Divide -2 to both sides:

x < -1.5

The side lengths of a triangle are 6, 8, and 12. Is this a right triangle?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<h2><u>D.</u></h2><h3>It's incorrect, because 6 squared = 36, 8 squared = 64, add them together and you get 100. 12 squared does NOT equal 100, it equals 144.</h3>

<em>(To find the hypotenuse {longest side of the triangle}, you square the two short sides, add them together, and finally, divide it by the provided number, and see if the number matches the provided number's square.)</em>

<h3>Brainly if correct and Thanks!</h3>

QRINC offered new employees a starting salary of $34,862 in 2013. What would a comparable starting salary have been in 2003?

Answer:

$C=27535.5881128$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

CPI for 2003(index)=2003-184.00

CPI for 2013(index)=2013-232.957

Starting salary in 2013 at $34,862

Generally comparable starting salary C is given as

$C=\frac{starting salary}{CPI for 2013(index} *CPI for 2003(index)$

$C=\frac{34,862}{232.957} *184$

Therefore C the comparable starting salary is givrn to be

$C=27535.5881128$

$C=27536 appro$
