A.In Step 2, 90 should be multiplied by the quantity 10 – 12, not by 10.

correct:
90(10 - 12) = 90 · 10 - 90 · 12 or 90(10 - 12) = 90 · (-2)

Iris is building a model of the Washington Monument. Her model measures 15 in. tall and is 1.5 in. wide at the base. The actual

irina [24]

Using how tall it is over how wide
=>tall/wide
The model 15in/1.5in
The actual x/55ft

Convert everything into the same units so 55ft to inches
There are 12in in 1ft
55ft * 12in/1ft
The ft cross out leaving in
55*12in= 660 in

So
15in/1.5in = x/660in
Now solve for x my multiplying both side by 660in
660in *15in/1.5in=x
x= 6600in tall

The LCM of two numbers is 60. Their GCf is 6 and their difference is 18. What are the two numbers?

Aliun [14]

$LCM(x,y)=60\\
GCF(x,y)=6\\
x-y=18\\\\
LCM(x,y)=\dfrac{|x\cdot y|}{GCD(x,y)}\\
60=\dfrac{|x\cdot y|}{6}\\
|x\cdot y|=360\\\\\\
|x\cdot y|=360\\
x-y=18\\\\
|x\cdot y|=360\\
x=18+y\\\\
|(18+y)\cdot y|=360\\
|18y+y^2|=360\\
18y+y^2=360 \vee 18y+y^2=-360\\
y^2+18y+81=441 \vee y^2+18y+81=-279\\
(y+9)^2=441 \vee (y+9)^2=-279\\
y+9=\sqrt{441} \vee y+9=-\sqrt{441}\\
y=21-9 \vee y=-21-9\\
y=12 \vee y=-30\\\\
x-12=18 \vee x-(-30)=18\\
x=30 \vee x=-12\\\\
\boxed{x=30, y=12 \vee x=-12, y=-30}$
