since

6 = 2 * 3 <--- two factors

8 = 2 * 2 * 2 <--- three factors

and since the "2" is there on each, then we can just use that instance of it once.

so instead of using 2 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 2, we'll use 2 * 3 * 2 * 2, and that is our LCD.

2 * 3 * 2 * 2 = 24.

A washer and a dryer cost $562 combined. The washer costs $88 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?

Yanka [14]

Answer:

<em>Let the dryer cost x.</em>

<em>Then, the washer costs (x+87)</em>

<em>Together, they cost (x) + (x+87) = 787</em>

<em> 2x = 700 [subtract 97 from both sides]</em>

<em> x = 350 [divide both sides by 2]</em>

<em>The dryer cost $350.</em>

<em>Check: The washer cost $437. Together, they cost $787 [good to check, right?]</em>

<em><u>Hope this helps...</u></em>

PLEASE HELP!!

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = - 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{3}$ (x + 6) = - 18

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2(x + 6) = - 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x + 6 = - 27 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = - 33

<h3>What is Congruency?</h3>

Two geometric figures are said to be congruent, or to be in the relation of congruence, if it is possible to superpose one of them on the other so that they coincide throughout.

Given:

AB = 3.5 cm, BC = 2.4 cm, and AC = 4.2 cm

As, ΔABC ≅ ΔHJK

So,

AB = HJ

BC = JK

AC = HK

Thus, HJ= AB = 3.5 cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope between the two given points, you can use the given formula for the slope between two points.

<h3>given</h3>

The points are (x1, y1) = (-3, 2) and (x2, y2) = (4, 2).

The formula is ...

slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

<h3>use the formula</h3>

Substituting the given values into the formula gives ...

slope = (2 -2)/(4 -(-3)) = 0/7 = 0

The slope of the line is zero.
