I run 1 mile every 6 minutes.
My friend runs 1 mile every 7 minutes.
Lowest Common Multiple:  LCM ( 6, 7 ) = 42 minutes.
Me : 42 : 6 = 7 miles
My friend : 42 : 7 = 6 miles.

Start by finding how long it takes each to run 1 mile.

You: 0.5 mile every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes

Your friend 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes

Now you have to calculate the minimum common multiple of 6 and 7.

For that you need to factor both numbers and take common and non common factors raised to their highest exponent:

6 = 3*2
7 = 7

Then the minimum common multiple is 2*3*7=42.

Now divide the time 42 by the humber of minutes each of you take to run 1 mile

you: 42 minutes / 6 minutes per mile = 7 miles
your friend 42 minutes / 7 minutes per mile = 6 miles.

You can run 7 miles and your friend 6 miles in the same time.

Answer: 7 and 6

I really don't understand on how to solve this
Aleks [24]
Hey there! :D

These are vertical angles. They have the same measure, so they are equal to each other. 

6x+25= 2x+105

Subtract 25 on both sides. 

6x=2x+80

Subtract 2x on both sides. 

4x=80

Divide both sides by 4. 

x=20

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

B(7,8) and B’(-8,-7) represent a 90 degree clockwise rotation. true or false?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

90 degree clockwise rotation is described by the matrix,

\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\\ \end{bmatrix}

If you apply the matrix to the vector B you get,

\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\\ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}7\\8\\ \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}7\cdot0+8\cdot1=8\\ -1\cdot7+8\cdot0=-7\\ \end{bmatrix}

So false.

Hope this helps.
