Answer:

It will take 60 seconds for the signs to light up at the same time again.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One sign lights up every 10 seconds

One sign lights up every 12 seconds

They have just lit up at the same time.

To find in how many seconds will it take for the signs to light up at the same time again.

Solution:

In order to find the time in seconds will it take for the signs to light up at the same time again, we need to find the least common multiple of the the times for which the given signs light up.

The numbers are 10 and 12.

To find the LCM, we will list the multiples of each and check the least common multiple.

The multiples of 10 and 12 are :

10\rightarrow 10,20,30,40,50,60,70

12\rightarrow 12,24,36,48,60

thus, we can see that 60 is the least common multiple.

Thus, the signs will light up at the same time time after every 60 seconds.

IceJOKER [234]
Answer:

(x + 2) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Before looking at my explanation make sure next time you are going to ask another question write the numbers that include exponents like this: x^2 instead of x2

Factor out x^2:

x + x

Factor out 6x:

Since it is in the bx form we’ll need two numbers be add so it can be equivalent to 6x

Answer: 4 and 2

Factor out 8:

4 x 2

Now start with the 8 and 6x

(? + 4) + (? + 2)

Then finish it off with x

(x + 4) (x + 2)
