16 balls. 

Let's call x the total number of golf balls that Ricardo had before he lost the first 6 balls. (x - 6).
Then he bought 12 more and lost 4 so basically 12 - 4 = 8
Add that to the equation: (x-6) + 8
And now that he has 18 golf balls at end of the second day the total must add to 18.

Full equation: (x-6) + 8 = 18

(x-6) + 8 = 18
(x-6) = 18 - 8 <-- Transpose
(x-6) = 10
16 - 6 = 10 <-- What would x have to be inoder to make this equation true? 16!
So x = 16

16 is the number of golf balls the Ricardo began with.

Find LCM x⁴-y⁴,x²-y² and x³-y³​
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1st expression: x⁴-y⁴

= (x²)² - (y²)²

= (x² +y²)(x² -y²)

= (x² +y²)(x +y)(x -y)

= (x +y)(x -y)(x² +y²)

2nd expression: x² -y²

= (x +y)(x -y)

3rd expression: x³ -y³

= (x -y)(x² +xy +y²)

Now ,

Lowest Common Multiples (L.C.M.) = common factors * rest factors

= (x+y)(x-y) * (x² +y²)(x² +xy +y²)

= (x² -y²)(x²+y²) * (x² +xy +y²)

= (x⁴ -y⁴)(x² +xy +y²)
