Answer:

60 days, Friday

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is solved using concept of LCM.

LCM is the least number which is the common multiple of given set of different number.

To find the LCM  we method of prime factors, the steps are given below

  • get all the all the prime factor of the given set of number
  • select all the prime factors   as many times they occur in given set of number
  • multiply together the numbers selected together to get LCM

________________________________________________

Given

frequency of visiting swimming pool by Shwetha = once in 12 days

factors of 12 = 2 * 2 * 3

frequency of visiting swimming pool by Vinnie = once in 4 days

factors of 2 = 2 * 2

frequency of visiting swimming pool by Olga = once in 10 days

factors of 10 = 2 * 5

minimum no of days after which they will be visiting together will be least common multiple of number of days after which they visit swimming pool individually.

Selecting the prime numbers with their highest occurrence

we have 2, 2, 3 ,5

multiplying them together we have

2 * 2 * 3* 5 = 60

therefore 60 is the LCM of 12, 4, 10

it means that Shwetha, Vinnie and Olga will visit swimming pool together once in 60 days

It is given that they visited on Monday  and now they will visit after 60 days again.

since in one week there are seven days, every eighth day will be monday

so we divide 60 days by 7 to see how many cycles of monday has passed.

60/7 = 8  4/7

It suggest that 8 weeks has passed and they will meet on 4 days after Monday  which will be Friday.

Thus they will meet meet at the swimming pool again in 60 days.

It will be Friday.

Answer:

for 18 x is 6 and for 20 it is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

For 18, since -1+2x and 5+x is the same thing, set up and equation. WE can simplify to -1+x=5 and then we get x=6

For 20, 18 is 11 since 18=-4+2x. If we simplify we get 22=2x then we can use algebra to say that x=11

Hope this helps :)
