Answer:
He is incorrect in this statement because 38 and 40 both have factors, other than 1 x itself. Prime numbers are numbers the only have 1 factor pair, and that is 1 x itself. Factors are the numbers you multiply to get the end result, and an example is 10x4=40. The factors of 40 are 8x5, 4x10, 2x20, and of course, 1x40. The factors of 38 are 2x19, and 1x38.
Answer:
x= -1/21
Step-by-step explanation:
21x + 11 - 5 = 5
21x + 6 = 5
(-6 each side)
21x = -1
(divide 21 each side)
x= -1/21
Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)
You have the equations...
2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14
To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...
2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28
Thus,
6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28
=========
-7y=-7
y=1
Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....
2x+(1)=7
2x+1=7
-1 -1
2x=6
x=3
Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)
