Answer:
35 as they are primes their lcm is their product. And knowing the prime-factorisation of 35 we know that the primes are 5 and 7 .

Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
the opposite of plus 10 is negative so u add negative 10 to positve and do the same to 5
Let
x = pounds of peanuts
y = pounds of cashews
z = pounds of Brazil nuts.
The total pounds is 50, therefore
x + y + z = 50 (1)
The total cost is $6.60 per pound for 50 pounds of mixture.
The total is equal to the sum of the costs of the different nuts.
Because the cost for peanuts, cashews, and Brazil nuts are $3, $10, and $9 respectively, therefore
3x + 10y + 9z = 50*6.8
3x + 10y + 9z = 340 (2)
There are 10 fewer pounds of cashews than peanuts, therefore
x = y + 10 (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
y + 10 + y + z = 50
2y + z = 40 (4)
3(y + 10) + 10y + 9z = 340
13y + 9z = 310 (5)
From (4),
z = 40 - 2y (6)
Substitute (6) into (5).
13y + 9(40 - 2y) = 310
-5y = -50
y = 10
z = 40 - 2y = 40 - 20 = 20
x = y + 10 = 20
Answer:
Peanuts: 20 pounds
Cashews: 10 pounds
Brazil nuts: 20 pounds
Absolute value means the total distance from zero. So you get rid of any negative signs and then look at which number has the lowest value (which is the smallest number without any negative signs).
