Answer:

Every 90 seconds, the two sets of light blink together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are two sets of lights.

First light blinks at every 30s and

Second light blinks at every 45s

To find:

How often the sets of lights blink together?

Solution:

As per given statement,

First light blinks after 30s, 60s, <u>90s</u>, 120s, 150s, <u>180s</u>, ........

Second light blinks after 45s, <u>90s</u>, 135s, <u>180s</u>, .....

If we look at the common time, shown by underlining it, the two sets of light blink at the same time after 90s, 180s, ...... and so on.

So, the two lights blink together after every 90s.

This can also be solved by finding LCM (Least Common Multiple) of the two numbers i.e. 30 and 45.

Let us have a look at the factors of 30 and 45.

30 = 2 \times <u>3</u> \times <u>5</u>

45 = 3 \times <u>3</u> \times <u>5</u>

<u />

So, LCM = 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 = <em>90</em>

<em></em>

So, after every <em>90s, </em>the lights will blink together.

5x + 4 = 7x i need help quick
anyanavicka [17]
5x + 4 = 7x

Subtract 4 from both sides.

5x = 7x - 4

Subtract 7x from both sides.

5x - 7x = -4

Simplify.

-2x = -4

Divide both sides by -2.

x = 4/2

x = 2

Without graphing, classify the following system as independent, dependent, or inconsistent. y=-3x+4 and 6x+2y=8
forsale [732]

Answer:

Dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-3x+4 and 6x+2y=8

Lets solve the second equation for y and then substitute it in first equation

6x+2y=8

Subtract 6x on both sides

2y=-6x+8

Divide by 2 on both sides

y=-3x+4

Now we plug it in first equation for y

-3x+4=-3x+4

Add 3x on both sides

4=4

Both sides are same, they are equal. the system has infinite solutions.

They are said to be dependent
