let \gcd(a,b)= G , $a\ge b$

$\therefore a=G\cdot m$ and $b=G\cdot n$

$a-b=Gm-Gn=G(m-n)$

Now, $\gcd(a-b,b)$ clearly is, $G$

Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds
shutvik [7]
55mph.

you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time

your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours. 
your equation would look like this
714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

Simplify the given expression. (18+ - 8)2​
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Our expression:

2 * (18 + - 8)

Plus then minus (+ -) is the same as just minus ( - )

Some examples:

1 + (+ 1) = 2

1 + (- 1) = 0

1 - (+ 1) = 0

1 - (- 1) = 2

Thus, 18 + - 8 is the same as 18 - 8

2 * (18 + - 8) =

= 2 * (18 - 8) =

= 2* (10) =

= 2 * 10 =

= 20

The first three terms of a geometric sequence are shown below.
san4es73 [151]
This is a geometric sequence of the form:

a(n)=(x+3)(-2x)^(n-1)  because each term is -2x times the previous term...so

a(8)=(x+3)(-128x^7)

a(8)=-128x^8-384x^7

Adriana, Henry, Malik, and Richard each design surveys to determine the most popular way seventh graders purchase music. Adriana
andriy [413]
The sample which is likely to produce the most valid result is Richard's sample because there was no statistical bias. Statistical bias is the systematic favoritism of certain individuals in the study. Just like what Adriana, Henry and Malik did in conducting their surveys, they choose people who are point of interest and also who are near them. In the way Richard conducted his survey, he used a random sampling technique, this is a method of selecting a sample from a population in such a way that every possible individual can be chosen and he doesn't know who these people are.
