Answer:

X=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5=5x-11

-3x = -3x Subtract the 3x from both sides

5 = 2x-11 You will end up with 5 on the left and 2x-11 on the right

+11 = +11 Add 11 to both sides to get rid of 11 on the right

16 =2x you will end up with 16=2x

16/2=2/2 Lastly divide 2 on both sides

8=x You will end up with the answer as x=8

What is the greatest common factor of 8m, 36m3, and 12? 4 8 4m 8m

lidiya [134]

The greatest common factor is exactly as it sounds: the greatest factors of two or more expressions.

Factorize the numbers and identify all common factors. To get the GCF multiply all common factors:

$8m=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot m,\\36m^3=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot m\cdot m\cdot m,\\ 12=2\cdot 2\cdot 3$ .

Common factors are: 2 and 2, their product is 2·2=4, then the greatest common factor is 4.

olasank [31]

Answer:

Conjecture : 2xy / ( x + y ) ≤ √xy

Step-by-step explanation:

Harmonic mean of x and y = 2xy/( x + y )

Formulate a conjecture about their relative sizes

we will achieve this by computing harmonic and geometric means

Geometric mean = √xy

harmonic mean = 2xy/( x + y )

Conjecture : 2xy / ( x + y ) ≤ √xy

attached below is the proof
