Use Substitution or Elimination

1. pick one equation and solve for a variable

6p + 1m = 9

1m = 9-6p

m = 9 - 6p/ 1

m= 9-6p

2. substitute m into one of the equations given

4p + 2 ( 9-6p) = 10

4p + 18 - 12p = 10

4p - 12p = 10 - 18

-8p = -8 (divide both sides by -8)

p = 1

3. Insert p=1 into any of the equations

6p+1m = 9

6(1)+1m =9

6 + 1m = 9

1m = 9-6

1m= 3

m = 3

Find the LCM of this set of numbers. 5 and 25
Andrej [43]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM = Least Common Multiple

To find the LCM, start by listing multiples, or the product of any two numbers.

5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...

25: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175...

Now, let's find the LCM by selecting the smallest shared multiple out of the lists we made.

5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...

25: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175...

Therefore, 25 is the LCM of 5 and 25.

What number gives a result of −5 when 9 is subtracted from the quotient of the number and 6?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

If it gives a result of -4 then our equation will have .... = -4

 

If we subtract 9 from the quotient of a number and 5 we have  x/5 - 9

 

Our equation is:

 

x/5 - 9 = -4     add 9 to both sides

x/5 = -4 + 9

x/5 = 5           multiply both sides by 5

x = 5(5)

x = 25

Check:  25/5 - 9 = 5-9 = -4

           Answer checks as correct from information given
